Exceptional Family Member Program       Click Here for the EFMP Resource List

The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) program ensures that the needs of the exceptional family member are taken into consideration throughout the change of assignment process. These needs may include physical, emotional, developmental and medical components. Staff are trained to assist military members in the enrollment process and provide information on local military and community support programs.

A family member with special needs warrants a certain lifestyle, sacrifice and rewards. The Exceptional Family Member Program staff is dedicated to ensure that all Marine and Navy families who have a special need family member are provided with information and resources necessary to assist families. The EFMP can not accomplish this task alone. We need your help. We need your input in order to create a program that incorporates the real issues of concern. No one can help us achieve this better than those who endure the lifestyle.

The Military Committee for Persons with Disabilities (MCPD) is a committee specifically established to listen to the concerns and issues of all Marine Corps, Navy, military retiree's and DoD civilians who live, work on board MCBH and have family members with special needs. The committee consists of representative from all the major resources on board MCBH who then addresses the concerns. The committee meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Contact the EFMP Coordinator to find out the location and time of the next meeting.

The Special Needs Information & Support Network meets on the 4th Monday of each month. The Support Group provides an opportunity for families to network informally and to receive valuable training on special needs issues.
