Mission:
The Fort Richardson Exceptional Family
Member Program (EFMP) provides advocacy and assistance to service members
who have a family member with special needs. Any family member who
requires special medical or educational services must be enrolled.
Medical or educational needs that qualify for enrollment include (but are
not limited to) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Asthma,
Diabetes, Learning Disorders, Down Syndrome, and Mental Illness, including
treatment for anxiety or depression.
EFMP provides resources and referral
to available community services, support groups, education workshops, and
recreational activities. EFMP advocates on behalf of soldiers and
families who may be experiencing difficulty in obtaining the services they
feel they need. We also have a resource library with books and
videos on a variety of topics that are available for checkout.
It is a requirement that all family
members obtain an re
EFMP screening prior to
soldiers approval for family
travel to Alaska. If you will be PCSing to Alaska, contact the EFMP manager at your installation to
initiate the screening process.
