Family Support

Military life provides many advantages for families, such as having opportunities to travel, being a part the Canadian Forces community and sharing national pride. It can also, however, present unique challenges, such as having to relocate to a different city, or having one spouse away on deployment.

 

The Canadian Forces has created numerous programs to assist families during these and other challenging times. Every Canadian Forces base has a Family Resource Centre to provide services such as career counselling for spouses and daycare and recreation programs for children.

 

For more information on the programs and services in place to support the families of Canadian Forces members, please see the Life in the CF - For Families section of this website.
