Family  Service  Association of America (FSAA) Local  family  and  child  services  may  provide family  life  education  in  response  to  particular needs,  or  at  the  request  of  local  groups.  Many agencies employ a staff member who specializes in  family  education. Personal, Marital, and Family Counseling  Services Navy  life  often  imposes  particular  stress  on military   members   and   their   families.   Marital problems,   stress,   child   abuse,   alcoholism, financial   pressures,    illness,  as  well  as  diffi- culties  related  to  deployment,  separation,  and mobility  may  lead  troubled  Navy  and  Marine Corps  members  and  their  dependents  to  seek counseling to help them overcome an immediate problem  or  to  help  them  cope  with  problems requiring  prolonged  attention. Whenever  long-term  counseling  or  a  specific type  of  professional  counseling  assistance  is required, a person may be referred by the chap- lain to an appropriate resource within either the military or civilian community. These counseling services  may  be  provided  by: Pastoral   Counselors Social   Workers Family   Counselors Counseling  Psychologists  or  Psychiatrists Community   agencies   which   may   provide counseling services include: Mental  Health  Clinics Social  Services  Agencies The  United  Way  Organization Family  Service  Agencies Catholic   Family   and   Child   Service Centers Regional  Pastoral  Counseling  Associa- tion  (a  nondenominational  network  util- izing religious facilities) Military facilities which may be utilized are: Naval  Regional  Medical  Centers Counseling  and  Assistance  Centers Family  Service  Centers These and other counseling agencies and pro- fessionals  which  can  assist  the  chaplain  should be listed in the Family Service section of the I&R Directory. UNITED SERVICE ORGANIZATION   (USO) The  United  Service  Organization  (USO)  has been providing a pleasant, homelike atmosphere for  recreation  for  service  members  since  1941. The  motto  of  the  USO  is  “Your  Home  Away From  Home.”  Millions  of  service  members  visit the  facilities  (more  than  100)  around  the  world each  year.  The  facilities  are  of  different  types: recreation  centers,  airport  lounges,  information desks  at  train  and  bus  stations  and  airports.  A USO  center  can  be  found  in  almost  every  town near a military base. The  USO  centers  sponsor  many  types  of activities:  dances,  sightseeing  tours,  pool  tour- naments,   reading   and   game   rooms,   and   free movies  and  television  viewing.  Many  USO centers are providing services for young married couples:  orientation  classes  for  wives  overseas, job  banks,  nurseries,  and  family  craft  classes. Most  USO  programs  are  free,  but  nominal fees  are  charged  for  pool  games,  snack  bar items,  and  jukeboxes.  The  USO  offers  lonely  or homesick service members a unique opportunity to  relax  off  base  and  meet  people  in  the  com- munity. PERSONAL  AND  FAMILY RESOURCE   MANAGEMENT One  of  the  major  concerns  of  the  Navy  and Marine  Corps  members  is  providing  for  their own financial welfare and that of their families. 5-16
