Exceptional Family Member Program
The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a mandatory enrollment program for active Army Soldiers with Families Members who have specialized medical and educational needs. The program works with other military and civilian agencies to provide comprehensive, coordinated medical, educational, community support and housing assistance. Other services include advocacy, respite care, resource materials/directories, information related to support groups, and area recreational opportunities and transition assistance.
EFMP provides comprehensive and coordinated community support, housing, educational, medical, and personnel services to Soldiers and their Families with special needs. The program strives to ensure that Soldiers and Family members with special needs are supported with resource information, advocacy, and access to respite services during assignment to the Fort Benning military community and as they transition to other installations. Informing Soldiers and their Families ensures that they can avoid stress that may affect mission and Family readiness.
