The Exceptional Family Member Program is a three-part mandatory U.S. Department of Defense Enrollment Program that works with military and civilian agencies to provide support for special medical and educational needs. The EFMP Program consists of Family Support, Medical and Assignments.

Who Qualifies?

Each EFMP enrollment is determined on a case-by-case basis. The enrollment process is initiated at the EFMP Medical Office. The two criteria’s needed to qualify for enrollment are; Active Duty status and meet one or more of the criteria’s within these categories; medical, mental health, assistive needs and/or educational.

Who We Serve?
The EFMP Family Support Office supports all ID-card holders from all branches of service, Reserve, National Guard members and their families. Along with DoD employees and contractors. EFMP Family Support are non-medical case managers who are here to assist you with a variety of needs.
Respite Care

Did you know that the Air Force provides FREE short-term childcare for EFMP families? This specialized care is designed to help reduce the stresses associated with caring for an exceptional family member (EFM). Respite Care cannot be used for work or school purposes, including before- or after-school care. It is only intended to be used for R&R (rest and relaxation) time for the main caregivers of the EFM. Please contact Family Support for more information.

Events

The EFMP Program offers educational activities and events to improve the quality of life for those that are diagnosed with special needs. Activities will help build
resilience, strengthen sensory/motor skills, enhance relationships, improve family adaptation, promote inclusion, destigmatize status, and create awareness. Examples of activities we have offered before are Hearts Apart, Sensory Bowling, Rock Climbing, Pasta Making, and Adaptive Sailing.
