Crisis Management and Support
Guidance and Referral on Lifestyle Issues
Coping with personal and community crises in the face of the unique challenges associated with service overseas require a strong support system. Guidance and assistance is available from FLO's Crisis Management and Support Services Officer and members of the FLO support staff.
FLO's Crisis Management and Support Services staff has developed resources and expertise in supporting families, specifically in the areas of:
· Death of an employee or family member
· Support for foreign-born spouses
· Family members NOT on official travel orders (Members of Household)
· Divorce
If you are a member of the U.S. Foreign Service, we encourage you to contact the FLO Crisis Management and Support Services staff at FLOAskSupportServices@state.gov with your questions and concerns.
All communications are confidential. If your concern is not listed here, we are still available to help.
