Our office has a contract with a behavioral health care provider, MHN, to enhance access to support services for Department of State employees and their families during unaccompanied tours. Those eligible include direct-hire employees on permanent change of station assignment and long-term TDYers to unaccompanied posts and their family members. The program includes a customized website, online training, 24/7 call-center support with licensed clinicians (this particular service for USAID and State employees only), and face-to-face counseling for State employees only.
It is free and strictly confidential.
Anyone can log on to the website, which includes tons of useful articles on a variety of emotional health topics, including coping with separation, maintaining bonds with children, and communicating at a distance. The website also contains online multimedia programs with self-assessment and self-help tools for dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression.
