Commander’s Message As we approach the Fall/Winter season, the Group Sergeant Major and I would like to offer best wishes to all military families. This past year, our families have seen an increase in work-related absences and relocations. The PSP (Personal Support Program) and MFRC (Military Family Resource Centre) teams played a critical role in providing support services and programs to families and their work is truly commendable. These services help bring a sense of normalcy and stability to our military lifestyle.

Despite the challenges of military life, our community continues to persevere, staying strong and resilient. Throughout this guide you’ll see many clubs, fitness activities, personal development, support services, mental health and wellness services, and parenting programs for all ages with opportunities to meet other community members and gain connections. I encourage everyone to take advantage of what the Edmonton Garrison area has to offer.

If you are recently posted to Edmonton, I would like to extend a warm welcome and invite you to the MFRC’s Fall Fest Event taking place September 17. This will be an excellent opportunity to meet other members of the community.

MFRC - Absences SUPPORT DURING ABSENCES

BEFORE AN ABSENCE

Deployments, exercises, training – whether planned or last minute, overseas or domestic when a family member is away, can be stressful.

Families who prepare can lessen some of the worry should challenges arise. The MFRC team helps families by sharing what resources are available and forecasting potential hurdles.

The MFRC offers many resources to help families before, during and after an absence. Find out more at: CAFconnection.ca/Edmonton/Deployment deployment@mfrcedmonton.com 780-973-4011 ext. 6304 Deployment E-Newsletter Our quarterly e-newsletter shares programs, special events, and deployment-specific information. To subscribe go to CAFconnection.ca/Edmonton/deployment and look for the link.

Fill out a Family Information Form The MFRC can do a check in to see if everyone’s on track during an absence. A Family Information Form must be filled out for the MFRC to reach out to family members – either the member or a family member can submit this form.

Readiness Guide Get the tools you need to be ready for any absence!

Our Readiness Guide gets you prepared should your family experience an emergency and you need someone to step in.

Pre- Deployment Road to Mental Readiness (R2MR) Focus on the potential challenges and emotions which are most experienced on the home front while preparing for your loved one to deploy. Discussions include phases of the deployment, coping strategies, family representative information and more.

Get the Scoop (family style briefing) Learn about MFRC programs and services while preparing for a work-related absence. *Get the Scoop can be paired with R2MR For families with children: • Build a Bear gift cards – available to a member posted in Edmonton who is deploying overseas.

Program here MFRC - Absences DURING AN ABSENCE Personalized Assistance While a family member is away, unexpected challenges can arise. Contact us if you need help finding answers or solutions.

Keep in Touch Service This personalized service begins once we receive confirmation that the member has deployed and can continue at the frequency of your choosing. We must have a completed Family Information Form to receive this service.

Though unit Family Reps usually confirm deployments, the MFRC doesn’t always know when a member has deployed. If you haven’t heard from us, please connect and let us know.

Sending Morale Mail Family and friends can send care packages free of charge to those deployed overseas. To receive this service, all packages must be addressed to the Belleville, ON address and taken to the Canada Post outlet located in the Base Mail room. Packages taken to other Canada Post locations will require paid postage to Belleville, ON. Base Mail Room: 3 CDSG (Building 181) Churchill Ave. Monday to Friday I 9:30 am-4 pm *Hours may vary. Call 780-973-4011 ext. 4813

AFTER AN ABSENCE Coming back together after an absence can create new challenges as you relearn how to jointly manage schedules and responsibilities.

Post- Deployment R2MR The anticipation of the member’s return is exciting; it can also be nerve-wracking and cause extra stress. This session focuses on the anticipation of the homecoming, renegotiating the relationship, home roles and more.

Post-reintegration check-ins We can do a check-in to see your family reintegration is going.

The Importance of Family Care Plans Members fill out Family Care Plans that identify the team around you that can help make the unexpected be more manageable.

Keeping your Family Care Plan updated can reduce some of the stress and worry by identifying contacts who are able to step in and help if things go off course, whether you are supporting children or not.

“ WHY DID THIS HAVE TO GO WRONG WHILE THEY’RE AWAY?” The smallest detail can make an unexpected turn of events more stressful than it needs to be.

Edmonton MFRC’s Deployment Readiness Guide helps you think about all the things you may need to know in the event of an emergency and you need someone to step in.

MFRC - Child care CHILD CARE MFRC offers a variety of child care services, however due to a nationwide shortage of qualified child care workers some programs may be delayed or adjusted.

The Edmonton MFRC is working on how to best deliver our child care services with these shortages in mind, so that we can offer a viable, consistent, and quality service that meets the needs of a broad range of families.

How to Access Contact Edmonton MFRC during regular business hours and ask to speak to someone about emergency child care. A Family Support Worker will guide you through a series of questions to assess your eligibility for support under the EFCA policy.

On weekends, weeknights or holidays, call the Family Information Line at 1-800-866-4546 and ask to speak to an emergency child care representative.

Child Care Registry The MFRC Child Care Registry connects military families and child care providers.

Reimbursement Depending on the situation, you may need to cover the cost of services up front then be later reimbursed.

Reimbursements will be issued by either Military Family Services or your local MFRC, but not by both. There is no cost to military families for using these services.

Are you looking for child care?

The MFRC has a list of child care providers to help you in your search. Visit us or call 780-973-4011 ext. 6300 to get the list, as well as helpful resources to assist you in finding a suitable place for your child.

Program duration The EFCA Policy was enacted to replace the Military Family Service Program Emergency Child Care Policy.

The program is to help with the impacts of COVID-19 for both family needs and service delivery safety.

For information on what child care options are currently available please contact the MFRC.

Are you a child care provider?

Families need child care/day home providers who can provide care over a weekend, weekly or monthly basis while a member is away for work. To be added to our registry visit us or call 780-973-4011 ext.6300 to get an application form.

Emergency Family Care Assistance (EFCA) Does your family need to care for a family member in an emergency situation? As part of the Emergency Family Care Assistance (EFCA) Policy, military families may be eligible to access financial assistance to help offset costs associated with the care of a family member.

Military families are encouraged to have a Family Care Plan (FCP) however emergencies can happen that prove too challenging for the FCP to accommodate. The EFCA aims to provide support for short-term emergencies when other lines of support provided by CAF, MFS and Director General Compensation and Benefits are insufficient.

If you qualify for support, you will be connected with a local service provider. If you do not qualify, you will be directed to other possible support services.
