The 139th AW Military & Family Life Counselor is continuing to provide free, off the record, confidential tele-health counseling via phone or video teleconference to assist with any concerns or stressors related to the current pandemic. Members can reach them by phone at 816-722-0342.

The counselor provides free, non-medical, confidential, no record, private counseling to service members and families. This includes someone who may be having relationship issues, coping with life changes such as DUI, divorce, parenting and grief or loss. They can meet with transitioning services members who may be retiring and for 180 days after retirement to assist with any transitions that may occur. They also work with children on anxiety, life stressors and relationships.

The M&FRC’s helps to manage volunteers for the 139th Airlift Wing. We currently have two types of volunteers: Statutory Volunteers are known as the Key Spouse or Key Volunteers at the 139th AW. These volunteers do not have to be a spouse but they help promote a partnership with unit leadership and families. To be a Key Volunteer you just have to have the desire to help the units, be available most drill weekends and attend yearly training. The second type of volunteer is a Gratuitous Volunteer. These volunteers may help with one activity or several. They do not require training and are just able to give of time they have available, because we appreciate and accept any help that can be given at the 139th Airlift Wing. Please see links to the Key Spouse Program or Brochure about volunteering below.
