H&R MFRC Request a Briefing

Briefing Overview

We will provide details of the H&R MFRC, the types of programs and services offered and more importantly, share with you who and how people can benefit from these services.

We know first-hand that everyone can benefit from a briefing, be it new recruits, COs in leadership positions supporting their members, unit members supporting each other, etc.

Briefing Duration

Briefings typically last 30 minutes followed by a Q&A session. We can tailor briefings to accommodate a unit/organization's schedule and timelines.

Booking a Briefing at your unit

We encourage units/organizations to book briefing requests by providing as much advance notice so we can reserve your date and time. A staff member from the H&R MFRC will travel directly to your unit to facilitate these briefings or deliver them virtually, depending upon your request. We will also travel outside of the Halifax Regional Municipality, and are available to support reserve units during nights and weekends. Briefings can be delivered for both large and small audiences.

Testimonials

"We often hear 'I wish I had known this sooner' from families seeking support during difficult times. Briefings are one vital way our team can share how we support families through absences, transitions and relocation." 

–  Kara MacNeil, H&R MFRC Director of Learning Engagement and Evaluation

“Each unit and trade is unique, as are the service requirements that impact our members and their loved ones. Participating as a unit in annual briefings offered by the incredible staff at the MFRC, is a tangible way in which we can better support each other by equipping members with knowledge of available resources. It is also a good opportunity to share with the MFRC, the ever-changing needs of our members and their desired supports. The MFRC staff offer a wide variety of engaging presentations and topics in their briefings, and by engaging Unit Family Representatives, customize the briefings to your unit’s needs. We look forward to these casual, fun, and informative briefings every year.” 

– PO1 Charmaine Chaddock, MMM, CD,  Strategic Outreach Manager, The Stadacona Band of the Royal Canadian Navy / Maritime Forces Atlantic
