Personal & Work Life Program
The Military and Family Readiness Center (M&FRC) is the focal point for assisting all service members and their families – to include Department of Defense civilians – in easing their adaptation to the military lifestyle and enrichment of their personal and work life.
The M&FRC assists with crisis intervention and customized action-planning by conducting assessments, offering skills development, and providing referrals to agencies both on and off of the installation. P&WL activities are educational in nature and offered in either group or individual settings.
A variety of topics provides customers with the most current, relevant and accurate information. Topics provided are suggestions – not requirements – and cover topics such as interpersonal communication skills, relationship building, maintaining long-distance relationships (during deployment and other separations), etc (see other suggested topics below).
