Redlands Daily Facts - 4/10/2019

April 10-- Apr. 10--Stater Bros. Charities recently donated $2,500 to Redlands-based Christian Counseling Service's Military Family Center.

The Military Family Center program works with families who have had a service member deployed since Sept. 11, 2001. It serves veterans and their families, especially focusing on those who have experienced disruptions or challenges due to deployment, according to a press release from Christian Counseling Service.

Among those Christian Counseling Service's program serves are:

--Veterans at risk of depression or suicide who will not seek services through the Department of Veterans Affairs due to stigma.

--Women veterans who have experienced sexual harassment or violence and who do not have appropriate services elsewhere.

--Veterans who were dishonorably discharged due to mental illness who do not qualify for Tricare or VA service.

--Families who do not have services through the VA.

--Children of veterans who do not have services through the VA.

--Post-9/11 veterans who do not have priority services through other programs.

Christian Counseling Service's Military Family Center was initially funded in 2013 through the Mental Health Services Act, provided through the county of San Bernardino, and continues to provide mental wellness services by providing assessment, counseling, psycho-education and equine therapy for military men, women and their families.

Christian Counseling Service is a nonprofit counseling agency that has been serving the Inland Empire since 1978.
