Military Family Navigation

H&R MFRC Navigators are military family service professionals who know the military lifestyle and its unique challenges, the community, and the services/supports available. Navigators will work with families to learn about their military journey, listen to their questions, needs, and strengths, and identify the best tools, services and supports available to help them.

Navigators provide peer support opportunities and education in the areas of relocation, absences, and transition into the military and throughout the release process. We work collaboratively with other agencies to provide relevant navigational support to connect to local and national resources that work best for families and will not duplicate existing services already available in the community. ​

Appointments can be made by phone, virtually by Zoom/TEAMS, or in person. Set up an appointment with a navigator:

As such, we will let military and veteran families know about research opportunities that may be of interest to them. We do not endorse particular research or researchers but encourage interested families to determine if the research study is a good fit for them. We recently received the following request:

On behalf of the Director General Military Personnel Research and Analysis and the Royal Canadian Navy, we would like to invite you to participate in a study examining work-life conflict in the Navy. Specifically, the study will (1) identify key challenges impacting RCN member’s work-life balance; and (2) identify existing successful solutions, and develop new solutions, to mitigate work-life conflict. In addition to interviewing Navy personnel, we would also like to speak to the partners of Navy personnel to understand their perceptions of the challenges to work-life conflict and potential areas of support.

Participation will involve taking part in a virtual interview that will take approximately 60-90 minutes of your time. Interview questions will cover your partner’s work-life balance, challenges that have impacted your partner’s ability to maintain work-life balance, what was done to successfully to support their work-life balance, what prevented work-life balance, and what changes could be implemented to promote work-life balance.

Interviews will be audio-recorded initially. Interviews will be transcribed to allow for the identification of common challenges, barriers, and solutions among interview participants. Your participation will be confidential, and you will be offered the opportunity to review your interview transcript prior to its use in the final report.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions regarding the study, please contact Dr. Christine Frank at Christine.Frank@forces.gc.ca

Masks are to be worn in all common areas. Children under the age of 12 are not eligible for a vaccine and with two licensed child care centres integrated within our facilities we are conscious that this age population is vulnerable to COVID-19, so we are taking one consistent approach for masking for all employees and community members.

Occasional Care - A Child Care Option for Military Families

Halifax and Shearwater sites, H&R MFRC

At the national level, Military Family Services (MFS) is modernizing their approach to support and services to military and Veteran families. As part of this process, the H&R MFRC is reviewing our programs and services to ensure they align with MFS. We must ensure that services are sustainable, address the evolving needs of families, and are tailored to address the three challenges of living the military lifestyle (Relocation, Absences, and Transitions).

Child care options (outside of licensed child care centres) are in demand. As such, one of our priorities is to offer military families alternative child care. We have consolidated Casual Care and Deployment Respite Care, and are introducing this new option as Occasional Care.

WHAT IS OCCASIONAL CARE

Occasional Care is a service offered at a reduced cost for families, due to generous donations from local organizations. This service is available for families who experience challenges due to relocation, absences, and/or transitions. Families can book a space and use the service to:

START DATE & SCHEDULE

This service will begin on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, with the following sessions available*.

Shearwater Site: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday mornings from 9am – 12pm. 

Saturdays: Alternating between Halifax and Shearwater sites from 9am – 12pm.

Ages: 18 months to 12 years.

*As part of our COVID reopening plan, Occasional Care will return gradually. We will add additional afternoon and Halifax site sessions as more staffing resources become available.

COST

All sessions are three hours at a cost of $15/child per session.

REGISTRATION

This service is not provincially licensed and follows provincial requirements for unlicensed child care, which prohibits more than six children enrolled per session. To ensure fair and reasonable access, families must register in advance. Pre-booking is limited to a maximum of two sessions/week (Saturday to Friday) per family. Families can register up to 30 days prior to the session or at least 24 hours prior to the session. Should a family wish to cancel, they must do so at least 24 hours prior to the session. No refunds will be given for sessions cancelled by the family.

To register, families must use our online registration system. Payment in full is required at the time of booking. Payments is done using a secure, third-party administrator, and accepts VISA, Mastercard, and Discover.

The H&R MFRC reserves the right to cancel this service at any time. Should this occur, families affected by this will be contacted and will receive a refund.

ADDITIONAL CHILD CARE OPTIONS

In addition to Occasion Care, military families may qualify for the following child care options.

Relocation Child Care (children 18 months to 12 years) is available to relocating families who need to unpack. It can be accessed up to a maximum of two full days a week (9am – 12 pm & 1-4pm).

Emergency Family Care Assistance (through Military Family Services) Through the Military Family Services Program (MFSP), Emergency Family Care Assistance (formerly called Emergency Childcare) provides military families support with emergency care for a dependent family member. There is an established criteria for eligibility. If you require support, please contact us: 902-427-7788.

For more information on these child care options: visit www.halifaxmfrc.ca or call: 902-427-7788.

*The H&R MFRC uses a family-centred approach to service delivery, meaning we recognize that each family has their own unique situation. Therefore, should fees be a barrier to access this service, please contact the Program Manager by calling: 902-427-7788.

Operation Backpack is Back!

Halifax and Shearwater sites, H&R MFRC

The H&R MFRC is collecting backpacks and school supplies on behalf of the members of HMCS Goose Bay this summer. These donations will be given to youth in an Arctic community. Donation boxes will be set up at the Halifax and Shearwater sites of the H&R MFRC.

Donations will only be received during the week of July 19 – 23, 2021, between the hours of 8:30am and 4pm.

Not sure what to donate? See below for a list of common school supplies. Be sure to watch out for sales at stores like Walmart, Staples, and Superstore!

Thank you in advance for your donation!

Community Update for June 10, 2021

As part of our re-opening plan, as of Monday, June 14, 2021, the following will occur:

Due to physical distancing requirements and its impact on our space capacity, as well as limits on indoor gatherings, our virtual programs/services allow greater participation. As public health restrictions ease, we will offer more in-person programs and services.

Please continue to monitor our social media for further updates on our re-opening plan.

Families can contact 902-427-7788 for information about start up for in-person programs, such as the Henderson Sweetman Youth Centre.

Volunteer Recognition “Night” 2021 - An Expression of Recognition for Volunteers

Like much of this year, the pandemic has created many challenges. It has also created opportunities to connect with people in alternative and creative ways.

One such opportunity is the annual event to recognize volunteers who support military members and families by giving their time to the H&R MFRC and PSP Halifax/Shearwater. As part of their mission to improve the lives of military families, CANEX funds the Volunteer Recognition Program (VOREP), which allows them to recognize the important role volunteers play, typically hosts this event.

Volunteers are well known at the H&R MFRC and PSP Halifax/Shearwater, many of whom have been volunteering for over 15 years. Volunteers are military members, family members, and those who have a passion for supporting military members and their families.

Th volunteer recognition event also provides the H&R MFRC and PSP Halifax/Shearwater the opportunity to show their gratitude and thanks to the amazing contributions volunteers make throughout the year. Although the event could not be held due to current restrictions for public events, the annual cheque presentation did occur. To show the value of volunteer time that is given to both organizations, a mock cheque in the amount of $71,743.00 was presented by Mike Almond, PSP Manager, CFB Halifax, and Jill Clarke, H&R MFRC, Volunteer Coordinator, to CFB Halifax Base Commander, Captain (Navy) Sean Williams, 5th Canadian Division, Col CR Cotton, and 12 Wing Shearwater, LCol Darras, CO 406 Squadron. The cheque signifies a combined savings for PSP Halifax/Shearwater and H&R MFRC of the over 5,000 hours volunteers gave in support of military members and their families.

Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Bases and Wings acknowledged the contributions of volunteers, along with the H&R MFRC and PSP Halifax/Shearwater demonstrated in their thank you letters to all volunteers.

In his letter, Captain (Navy) William, Base Commander, referenced the challenging times faced this past year and the impact the volunteers had. “Hundreds of Defence Team members and their families have volunteered thousands of hours providing hope and smiles to sailors, soldiers, aviators and their families just when they needed it most.”

12 Wing Commander, Colonel Hawthorne recognized volunteers in his letter to them. “Your support to military members and their families is vital to the success of the Canadian Armed Forces and I know that your work is especially appreciated by the members of 12 Wing.”

Brigadier-General Pelletier, Commander of 5th Canadian Division, echoed Capt (N) Williams and Col Hawthorne’s sentiments on the effect volunteers have had. “Your contribution has left a positive impact on our military families, and would not have been possible without your commitment and dedication to our community.”

Mike Almond, CFB Halifax, PSP Manager, encouraged volunteers to reflect on their contributions. “You should be truly proud of your commitment toward promoting esprit de corps and
participation in the CAF recreation programs and MFRC events.”

Shelley Hopkins, Executive Director of the H&R MFRC, thanked volunteers for their dedication to supporting military families. “Although you have had limited opportunities to volunteer over this past year, I must acknowledge that whenever we did make a request for volunteers, you have all offered to step-up in support of military families.”

This year, in lieu of hosting an in-person event, due to COVID-19 guidelines, last month volunteers received a letter and a CINEPLEX movie code that they can use watch a ‘new’ premier movie from the comfort of their home. It is a different way of celebrating their efforts and have been well-received.

“The H&R MFRC recognizes the generous support of CANEX for sponsoring this annual Volunteer Recognition Event,” Hopkins added.

Update Regarding Children’s Centres May 7, 2021

This letter comes directly from the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. Following the letter is a message from the director from our Children’s Centres.

May 7, 2021

Dear Family:

We want to take a moment to acknowledge the support you have provided to the early learning and child care sector over the past 18 months, as we navigate this global pandemic together, and know that you are receiving the best support and care from the educators and staff at your centre.

To address the third wave of the pandemic, under the direction of Public Health, we reduced the capacity for regulated child care settings to a maximum of 60%. To do this we asked families, who do not require urgent child care, to voluntarily keep their children home until at least May 7th. For the families who could help, they were not required to pay child care fees and their spaces were held. As we work to flatten the curve of COVID-19, we are extending this deadline for families, until further notice. If you are able to keep your children home or are already doing so and are able to extend your help, please notify your child care provider immediately.

In addition to these efforts, we would like to remind families who are accessing child care of the following:

• Review the COVID Daily Checklist for yourself and those you care for each day before leaving home. The checklist can be found at the link below: https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/docs/Daily-COVID-checklist-en.pdf

• Monitoring for symptoms is important to identify any potential cases of COVID-19. Children need to stay home when they are unwell, even if their symptoms are mild.

• Anyone who is unsure whether they or their child should self-isolate should access the online assessment tool ( https://covid-self-assessment.novascotia.ca/en ) or if unable to access the online tool, call 811.

• Parents and guardians should be aware that they will need to pick up their child promptly from child care if notified that their child has developed symptoms.

• Parents and guardians should educate and support children ages 2 and up, to wear a mask indoors, as required by Public Health measures. Where possible, they should ensure their children have clean masks with them, while attending child care.

We know you understand that during this quickly evolving third wave, we must all do our part to make safety a priority. There is nothing more important than the health of your children, and we are committed to continue working together to keep child care settings safe spaces for your children and their educators. Thank you for your continued support and please stay safe.

A note from the director of our Children’s Centres’:

Please email sherry.ellis@forces.gc.ca if you require a space next week as an essential worker. Otherwise please contact to confirm your voluntary withdrawal extension, if you are NOT an essential worker.

Lockheed Martin Canada Support Military Family Mental Health

In recognition of Mental Health Week, led by the Canadian Mental Health Association, Lockheed Martin Canada is proud to support a variety of initiatives that celebrate, protect and promote mental health.

Single Largest Philanthropic Donation

The past year was especially challenging for Canadian military families coping with the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic. In response, Lockheed Martin Canada’s single largest philanthropic contribution to date, $300,000, was donated to programs supporting the mental health of over 500 youth (and counting) from military families across Canada.

Lockheed partnered with Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, and local Military Family Resource Centres (MFRCs) in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, to support important initiatives providing military families with tangible relief during a very challenging period.

“We are grateful to Lockheed Martin Canada for their unwavering support of military families in Canada. These new programs and services go a long way in providing vital support for children and youth helping to ensure their resiliency.” commented Commodore Sean N. Cantelon (Ret’d), CEO, Canadian Forces Moral and Welfare Services.

Supporting the military community with non-profit partners is a large part of what Lockheed Martin does, both as a company and as an employer. The past year has underlined the importance of access to local mental health programs and resources for families who may concurrently face relocation, operational separations, and the risk of the profession of arms in addition to COVID related stressors.

“We know the impact COVID-19 has had on everyone’s wellbeing, and I am incredibly proud of this partnership with Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services that is providing more access to tailored and timely mental health resources for children and youth of military families through their local centres,” added Lorraine Ben, Chief Executive, Lockheed Martin Canada.

Over 500 Military Children and Youth Impacted So Far

National CAF Kids Crisis Text Line, delivery extended by 4-5 years, dedicated to ensuring children, youth and young adults from military families have free access to mental health and wellbeing support in both English and French. Powered by Kids Help Phone, kids text the keyword CAFKIDS to 686868 for mental health support.

Tranquility Online program partnered with the Halifax & Region MFRC (H&R MFRC) to teach life-long skills to military family members, helping parents and youth manage mental health during stressful or difficult situations.

Peer Support Network for Adolescent Girls, delivered fully online by Region of Montreal MFRC. The interactive information sessions and discussion groups cover a wide variety of topics like children’s mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Imagination Library delivered by the Esquimalt MFRC is a monthly book sharing program, providing children ages 0-5 with a different book each month, in collaboration with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library - an international non-for-profit working to support enhanced education outcomes for children.

Imagination Library delivered by the Calgary MFRC provides a book sharing program as well as counselling services for children and youth struggling with complex mental health challenges and tutoring for those with academic difficulties.

Message from the Executive Director

April 29, 2021

A year ago our military community faced a tragic loss, and today we pause to reflect for our thoughts remain with the families of: Captain Brenden Ian MacDonald, Captain Kevin Hagen, Captain Maxime Miron-Morin, Master Corporal Matthew Cousins, Sub-Lieutenant Matthew Pyke, and Sub-Lieutenant Abbigail Cowbrough.

This tragedy affected our 12 Wing community, the crew of HMCS Fredericton, the entire Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) community, and beyond. Nova Scotians and Canadians showed an outpouring of support and appreciation for CAF members and their families, including individuals, groups, and businesses who reached out to help.

Our H&R MFRC team has felt privileged for being entrusted to support military families – how and when you have needed us. Your resilience, unity, and unwavering support for each other speak to the closely knit community that is the military. And as military families, you are connected by your shared experience of military life. On behalf of the staff and Board of Directors, I sincerely thank you for your service.

We will remember them.

Request for Proposals: Mental Health & Well-Being Services

Scope of Practice and Delivery

SOP (standard operating procedures)

Issued by the Halifax & Region Military Family Resource Centre

June 25, 2019

Expression of Interest Deadline: 4 pm AST, 23 August, 2019

Submission Due Date: 4 pm AST, September 3, 2019

The Halifax & Region MFRC is a not-for profit, charitable organization, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of a minimum of 51 percent military family members.

The mission of the Halifax & Region MFRC is to strengthen the well-being of all those who share the unique experience of military life.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The H&R MFRC has two primary locations, one in Halifax (Windsor Park), one in Dartmouth (Shearwater) and there is one satellite office in Sydney, with an average fulltime employee count of 34.

The H&R MFRC has a Mental Health and Well-Being Team, currently comprised of 4 team members, 3 based primarily in Halifax and 1 based primarily in Shearwater. Three are registered social workers; of the four, 1 team member is responsible for the intake process and 1 is responsible to work with the Transition Centre. The provided services include crisis intervention, prevention programming, short term counselling and referrals to internal (i.e. Special Needs and Inclusion Navigator) and external resources/ agencies. This team has oversight for 6 short-term apartments, emergency child care and financial resources. The team has professional commitments, in representing the H&R MFRC, on committees, working groups and community of practice groups.

Since 2018, the Mental Health and Well-Being Team has been under review, to determine if the current service delivery model is meeting the needs of local military families. Effective 1 January, 2019, the team structure was changed to eliminate the Supervisor role, in favor of a fulltime intake coordinator. Of note, the team has been without practice supervision for more than three years.

The H&R MFRC is looking to contract an individual, or company, to assess and develop the Mental Health and Well-Being Team’s scope of practice and delivery, in addition to documenting all associated operating procedures, ranging from intake to the evaluation of the client experience.

2.0 SERVICE DELIVERABLES REQUIRED
