CARING FOR THE FAMILIES AT HOME

S

ince 1991, military families have relied on Military Family Resource Centres when confronted with issues that only families with soldiers will face.

Retired Col. Charles Hamel said before the centres, families were on their own to manage and cope.

“I certainly know that because my father was in the military,” said Hamel who is board chair of Calgary Military Family Resource Centre that serves families of Canadian Armed Forces members and reservists in Southern Alberta and as far north as the Red Deer area.

He said centres came about after military spouses campaigned to have more say in issues that affect their families.

“We’ve come to realize the military institution takes good care of its soldiers in terms of making sure they are ready to do their job the best they can do and prepare them for war or peacekeeping duties. But the soldier is only really one part of the family system. If they don’t have a support base back on the home front, then they’re not going to be as operationally effective as they could be.”

Hamel said when he served it helped to know the local Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) was there to help his family.

“The first call (my family) would make would be to the MFRC and ask for assistance. I knew, and I was comfortable with the fact, that the MFRC was taking care of their basic needs. That allowed me to be focused on the job I was doing out there.”

He said military families are unique. The military member faces danger during both deployment and training and they can be gone for long periods of time. Frequent relocation means a spouse must leave their jobs and children must leave their schools and friends.

“It’s not uncommon for families, throughout a military career, to move 10, 12 times across the

country or overseas.”

MFRC programs to help families deal with the challenges of military life include: • Family separation and reunion support to help them during absences due to military service.

• Personal development and community integration services and activities to make the transition to new communities easier.

• Access to prevention, support and intervention services and referrals.

• Child and youth development and parenting support.

• Access to Military Family Services programs and the website Family Navigator for information on communities where families are moving.

“First and foremost, we’re the first point of contact. You got a problem, we’ll find a solution to it, whether it’s emergency child care or it’s financial woes, and keeping in touch with them to make sure they’re getting the appropriate response and they’re not lost in the system. They’re not on their own,” Hamel said.

The Calgary centre is one of 32 MFRCs in Canada created by the Department of National Defence.

Centres receive 45 per cent of their funding from Military Family Services which is under the umbrella of the defence department.

Centres are non-profit charities that also raise money through fundraising events, activities, casinos, donations and merchandise sales.

He said centres have also been mandated to help families affected by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“When you have a member of the family with PTSD it affects everybody. We’ve got to deal with the whole mental health issue as a family system,” Hamel said.

The military’s Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) program for its soldiers has also been expanded to families as

a preventative measure to promote resiliency.

Tessa Clayton, communications coordinator at Calgary MFRC, said the centre has been in contact with about 1,200 families, including 115 in the Red Deer area.

Most families involved with the Calgary MFRC have a family member in the military reserves.

She said military members can access MFRC services for up to two years after their release date, but the centre doesn’t turn people away.

“We tend to focus on social events, bringing families together in the communities so they can meet other people. It’s up to them if they choose to participate, but opportunities are there,” Clayton said.

Recently about 30 children and adults went to the Lacombe Corn Maze for a preHalloween barbecue. The next event in Red Deer is a Christmas party for military families on Dec. 16 at Cormack Armoury.

Services are either free of charge or low cost.

She said more of an effort is being made to let families know about the centre’s programs and services by visiting military units. Efforts will also be made in the future to expand programs to single and younger military members.

“There have been talks to expand programs and services to veterans. There is a pilot project taking place with select MFRC in the country. We are not one of them.”

CPL. WILFRED D. COULLIARD

As we gather at the cenotaph, where we once again give thanks.

To all of those who died for us, in ships and planes and tanks.

We stand here with our heads bowed low, in the steady falling rain.

And think of how they suffered, through so many years of pain.

How they stood there in the trenches, midst the mud and dirt and grime.

Waiting for the dreaded sound, of the enemy attacking one more time.

How a young man on the front line, felt an awesome painful thud.

Then slowly slid down in the trench, and laid there dying in the mud.

How the airmen watched the tracers, floating up towards their planes, Then slowly tumbled earthward, where they crashed and died in flames.

How the sailors on the briny deep, were filled with massive dread.

When torpedoes tore their ships apart, and the sea consumed the dead.

They gave their all that we could live, in a world that was free from strife.

They never really had the chance, to lead a normal life.

Now as we hear the “Last Post”, echoing through the crowd.

Once again we think of them, and how they were so proud.

To march away to foreign shores, where they’d bravely fight and die.

To ensure a country that was safe, for folks like you and I. Now we must never forget them, so on each remembrance day, we must gather at the cenotaph, and for our dear departed, pray.
