Military Family, Deployment Readiness

Deployment… sooner or later we know that all military families will experience it. No matter what the length of time or when it occurs we know that sooner or later it will happen. So why not be ready for it. You know what they say about the best laid plans…. Well now may be the time to get connected and be prepared. Even if you are already experiencing a work related separation or a deployment right now, it’s never too late!

At your Military Family Resource Centre, we know firsthand the physical and emotional demands placed on members, partners, children, parents and extended family as a result of deployment or other work related separations. We believe deployment services don’t begin when a member leaves and doesn’t end when a member comes home — it is an ongoing process. Family deployment readiness can be the key to reducing stress on everyone.

If you and your family are experiencing or are going to experience a deployment or a work related separation (including temporary duty, special tasking, exercises, restricted postings, courses, overseas or other deployments etc) we have Family Networks and other great resources designed for you. The H&R MFRC is committed to ensure our CF families are connected and supported. We don’t always know who is away, so get connected, call the MFRC today at 427-7770 or email deployment@halifaxmfrc.ca
