Our Child and Youth Behavioral Military and Family Life Counselors (CYB-MFLCs) are instrumental in ensuring our military-connected families in and around Minot AFB are supported. I am the point-of-contact for our CYB-MFLCs, and it is a very rewarding position because our counselors are friendly and personable – it is easy to understand why they’re counselors!
We currently have three on Minot Air Force Base: Ms. Thelma Watkins, Ms. Megan Armenta, and Ms. Erin Park. They assist children, families, and support staff with free confidential, non-medical counseling.
Each month, they give a free presentation on a different topic, which is decided based on data regarding current counseling trends and mission-readiness initiatives. This month’s session will be held on January 20th, 2026 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm at the Youth Center and is on Parent and Child Conflict: Identifying Family Strengths and Collaborative Communication. Ms. Megan Armenta will lead the presentation and all attendees will receive a free plant!
You might think you don’t have time for this session. You might even think it won’t be beneficial. However, I encourage you to give it a try! Education is something no one can take from you. I believe there’s no more valuable use of your time (besides quality, device-free interactions with your child(ren), which—arguably—are enhanced via your own intentionally-scheduled and attended educational sessions) and this life-enhancement is paramount for your own, your child(ren)’s, and our country’s success! Live intentionally.
