BRIEF DESCRIPTION
What is 2-1-1?
2-1-1 is a free, confidential, and easy-to-remember three digit phone number that brings people and services
together.
Every hour of every day, someone in San Diego County searches for services, from substance abuse treatment to
care for a child or aging parent. More than 2,000 community agencies provide 5,000 health and human service
programs. Finding your way through this maze can seem insurmountable. Where do you start?
With 2-1-1, help starts with one little number.
2-1-1: Help Starts Here
2-1-1 is the dialing code for free, 24-hour community, health and disaster information in San Diego County. 2-1-1
has been set aside by the Federal Communications Commission for the public to easily access community
information. Callers receive personalized information from a live phone specialist who can answer questions about
a variety of services and information.
A Community Wide Service
Every corner of the community is touched by 2-1-1, from the businessperson who uses 2-1-1 to help an employee
find parent and family services, to the senior citizen who calls 2-1-1 about financial scams. In times of a regional
disaster, 2-1-1 is the link for all citizens to the most up-to-the-minute information on road closures, evacuations,
shelters, and recovery resources. Law enforcement agencies see scarce resources freed up when inappropriate calls
to 9-1-1 decline because the public has another easily-remembered number to call for non-emergency needs.
2-1-1 Beyond San Diego County
Though only introduced in 1997, 2-1-1 dialing already reaches 198 million people across the nation. Well over 65
percent of the country has access to 2-1-1. (For more information, see www.211.org.) In California, 18 counties
have active 2-1-1 dialing service.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The American Red Cross is a volunteer-led, non-governmental humanitarian agency that provides relief to victims of
disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. In addition to domestic disaster relief, the
American Red Cross provides communication services and offers comfort to military members and their families.
Today, the American Red Cross is keeping pace with the changing military. Using the latest in computer and
telecommunications technology to allow military members stationed all over the world to send messages to loved ones
back home during emergency or other important events. These communications are delivered around-the-clock, seven
days a week, 365 days a year. The American Red Cross is available to help our armed forces with the following services:
 Reporting and Emergency Communications:
The American Red Cross links members of the U.S. Armed Forces with their families during crisis such as
critical accident, illness, birth, or death in a service member’s immediate family. Twenty-four hours a day, 365
days a year, the Red Cross is equipped to quickly verify the situation and relay an emergency message or leave
request if necessary to the proper military authorities. Note that the service member’s Commanding Officer
ultimately makes the decision of whether or not an emergency leave request is granted.
When calling the Red Cross to send a message to a service member, please have the following information
which will speed the process of sending your message:
 Service Member’s Full Name
 Branch of Service
 Social Security Number
 Military Address
 Information about the deployed unit and home base (if deployed)
Family members who do not reside in the service members' household, members of the National Guard and
Reserves, retirees and civilians may access Red Cross services through their local Red Cross chapter. Red Cross
chapters are listed in local telephone books and on the American Red Cross Web site at
http://www.redcross.org/where/where.html.
 Emergency Financial Assistance:
The Red Cross works with the military aid societies (Army Emergency Relief, Navy Marine Corps Relief
Society, Air Force Aid Society and the Coast Guard Mutual Assistance). This partnership helps to
provide financial assistance for emergency travel which requires the presence of the service member or his or
her family, burial of a loved one, or with assistance that cannot wait until the next business day (food, temporary
lodging, urgent medical needs, or the minimum amount required to avoid eviction, utility shut off, etc.). Active
duty service members stationed CONUS and their immediate family members can call the Red Cross Service to
the Armed Forces Centers for help seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

AMERICAN RED CROSS (cont.)
 Counseling:
The American Red Cross offers confidential services to all military personnel and their families — active duty,
National Guard and Reserves. Counseling, guidance, information, referrals and other social services are
available through our worldwide network of chapters and offices on military installations.
Welcome Home, A Guide to a Healthy Family (ARC 2091, Apr. 1996) is a publication especially for military
personnel returning home to their families after a lengthy deployment. The guide has suggestions for making the
transition smoother for the entire family. An electronic copy can be found on the American Red Cross Website
under Military Reference Library.
 Safe and Well:
Disasters often make it difficult to stay in touch with loved ones. The American Red Cross Safe and Well
website is a central location for people in disaster areas in the United States to register their current status, and
for their loved ones to access that information. It helps provide displaced families with relief and comfort during
a stressful time.
The Safe and Well website is easy to use:
 If you are currently being affected by a disaster somewhere in the U.S., enter your pre-disaster address
and phone number, and select any of the standard message options at
https://safeandwell.communityos.org/zf/safe/add
 If you are concerned about a loved one in the U.S., go to
https://safeandwell.communityos.org/zf/safesearch/search and enter the person’s name and pre-disaster
phone number OR address. If they have registered, you will be able to view the messages they have
posted.
Safe and Well is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is accessible in both English and Spanish.

 WHEN: The call lines are open 24/7/365. During this test phase, Marine veterans and FMF corpsmen are typically
available from 0700-2300. When Marine veterans and FMF corpsmen are not available, calls will be answered by
counselors who have received Marine-specific training in our culture.
 WHY: Marines want to talk with someone who understands them as a Marine. The DSTRESS Line provides
Marines, attached Sailors, and family members with a place to call and speak with 'one of their own.' It is a place to
call and talk about problems before they turn into a crisis. The DSTRESS Line helps callers increase resilience and
develop the necessary skills required to cope with the widely varying challenges of life in the Corps and the inevitable
stress of combat operations.
 HOW: Callers can talk to DSTRESS Line representatives and counselors by phone or Skype, and can use the Chat
feature found on this website.

Appointment recommended
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a mandatory program required by Marine Corps Order P1754.4B
Exceptional Family Member Program for all active duty personnel who have an exceptional family member.
 Eligibility Requirement:
An exceptional family member is defined as an authorized family member (spouse, child, stepchild, adopted child,
foster child, or a dependent parent) residing with the sponsor who may require special medical or educational services
based upon a diagnosed physical, intellectual or emotional disability such as asthma, cerebral palsy, learning
disability , dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, autism, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, etc. Disabilities may range from
mild to severe.
 Enrollment Process:
The DD 2792 (Exceptional Family Member and Educational Summary) and the DD 2792-1 forms (Exceptional
Family Member Special Education Intervention Summary) are required to enroll in the EFMP
 DD Form 2792:
Must be completed and signed by the service member or spouse and verified by an EFMP Case worker. A personal
note and/or additional information may be included. The medical summary should be completed and signed by the
medical provider (military or civilian). The sponsor should review for accuracy and completeness. A signed
functional Medical Summary must be included for all children, even when no medical condition is apparent.
 DD Form 2792-1:
Must be completed and signed by a school official or early intervention provider (if the child is younger than 3). A
legible copy of the current Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) must be
submitted. A letter or report from the school or early intervention providers may be included. If enrolling a school
age child with medical needs only, a school official or early intervention provider must endorse page 1 of the special
education/early intervention summary documenting that there are no special educational needs.
Once the forms are completed they should be submitted to the EFMP office. The forms will then be reviewed by a Case
Worker and sent to HQMC to be screened by the Medical Liaison, at that time, they will recommend enrollment and/or
consideration for priority housing.
Enrollment is required every 3 years or if the condition changes prior to that time. If the status of the family changes (divorce,
medical issues resolved, death, etc) the Marine must request disenrollment from the program.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF ENROLLMENT?
 Case Worker:
A case worker will be assigned to every enrolled member. They will provide community and installation resources to
facilitate needed services. The case worker can also attend IEP/IFSP and other meetings as necessary. The case
worker at both the losing and gaining installation will assist in the transition of medical and educational care. The
goal is to ensure that families receive continuum of care that will continue throughout their sponsor’s Marine Corps
career and provide a seamless medical and educational transition for the EFM.
 Respite Care:
Respite Care is a program intended to reduce stress on Marine families by providing temporary rest periods for family
members who have disabilities or are responsible for regular care of persons with a disability. Families are eligible
for up to 40 hours of Respite Care per month.
33
EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY MEMBER PROGRAM (cont.)
 Extended Care Health Option (ECHO):
There is an opportunity for additional medical coverage in the form of TRICARE’s ECHO. ECHO is a program
available only to families of active duty service members enrolled in the EFMP, whose family members have
substantial needs. ECHO provides benefits not available through the basic TRICARE program, such as special
education, durable equipment, rehabilitative care and respite care.
 Assignment Coordination:
HQMC EFMP screens proposed accompanied orders for enrolled Marines to ensure that the special needs indentified
in a family’s EFMP enrollment form can be met at the proposed duty location. If sufficient care is not available,
EFMP will work to ensure a duty location where both career progression needs and Exceptional Family Member
needs are met.
 Coordination for Housing
During relocation, or when a need for accommodation is identified, an EFMP case worker will liaison with housing to
ensure needs are met.
 Advocacy & Education:
EFMP will assist families with issues ranging from school services and access to therapies, to TRICARE referrals.
EFMP provides classes, training, events and resource material to help families learn to be self-confident and have the
ability to advocate for themselves and the EFM.
 Policy:
The EFMP provides for assignment of Marines with family members possessing special needs to locations where
those needs can be met. Operational requirements of the Marine Corps and requirements for career development and
experience are mediating factors in making assignments. The following policies apply:
 Accompanied Assignments – Overseas:
Will not be affected if the required medical services are available at the overseas location. It is imperative that the
EFM’s needs be formally re-evaluated if the sponsor considers extending his/her overseas assignment or if he/she is
being considered for reassignment to another overseas location. Overseas screening is the same for all families
anticipating accompanied orders overseas.
 Assignments – United States:
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) assignments within the Continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii will be
approved if the needs of the EFM can be met in the proposed assignment area or the appropriated Director of
Manpower Management Division or Reserve Affairs determines that the needs of the Marine Corps take precedence.
The EFMP has no impact on the deployment responsibilities of the sponsor. Overseas unaccompanied, unit
deployments and standard deployments must be carried out without interruption. When the family’s need conflicts
with such assignments, the assignment will be affected under the provisions of a humanitarian transfer.
Marines having EFM’s will not normally be assigned to accompanied tours in geographic areas where another
military department is responsible for providing medical and medically related services. When necessary, appropriate
coordination will be conducted by CMC (MHF) with the department to verify the availability of the required service.
The sponsor will always have the option of accepting assignments where medical services needed by the EFM do not
exist. While the EFM is supported in another location.
Enrollment shall not adversely affect advancement, career potential, or eligibility for special programs and
assignments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Family Advocacy is a program designed to assist families experiencing the trauma of abuse. Counselors are trained in the
dynamics of abuse in order to assist in protecting victims, as well as seeking ways to support families in need of assistance.
 There are many negative consequences that affect families experiencing abuse.
 Support resources include information on spouse and child abuse, victim advocacy, counseling for individuals,
couples and children, as well as classes on stress and anger management, domestic violence, communication and
conflict skills (Fair Fighting) successful parenting and financial management.
We encourage anyone experiencing abuse to seek help immediately. Research shows that the earlier help occurs the sooner
families can make positive changes. Research also proves that without assistance, abuse problems persist and become more
unbearable over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 What is spouse or child abuse?
Physical injury that involves behavior such as hitting, kicking, slapping, punching, choking, and shaking. Sexual
abuse that involves the use of force, threats or intimidation by the offender to engage in sexual activity. Emotional
harm such as threats of violence that causes undue fear or anxiety, and disparaging remarks that lowers self-esteem
and damages emotional well-being.
 Will my spouse get into trouble if I seek help?
This depends on the level of abuse. If there are injuries then the offender has broken the law and needs to be
accountable for their behavior towards you or the children. The Marine Corps deals with abuse in two ways, if there is
no injury or prior case and your spouse is willing to take responsibility for his or her actions and is amenable to
treatment there will be no formal case and you and your spouse will be offered a treatment program that fits your
needs. If there are injuries or a prior case then your spouse will be mandated by his command to get help. Victims of
abuse must be protected.
 What are the rules of confidentiality?
If spouse or child abuse occurs, a commander must be told in order to make sure that family members receive the care
and protection they need and deserve. It is true that, in the beginning, spouses may resent being told they have to get
help, but when they experience the positive results that occur in the family from the treatment program, there is an
attitude change in a majority of the spouses for the better. Nothing you share with the counselor will be shared with
your spouse unless you give permission.
 What can I do if I need help and can't get to the Family Advocacy Office?
Family Advocacy Programs include Victim Advocacy. An Advocate is on call 24 hours a day to provide crisis
intervention and referral to community resources. An Advocate will respond to victims of spousal abuse, child abuse
and victims of sexual assault. An Advocate may accompany you to medical examinations and/or court proceedings, if
needed. An Advocate can help to arrange lodging at a Battered Person's Shelter or Safe House.
35
FAMILY ADVOCACY PROGRAM (cont.)
 What are the limitations regarding amount and types of counseling received?
Family Advocacy counselors assess safety first to determine what available services are most appropriate for the
offender. Once it has been determined that risk for abuse has been lowered most couples go to individual and couples
counseling, as well as participating in support groups. The average length of time generally lasts for three to six
months.
 What are some early warning signs to look out for?


 Links a victim to military and civilian resources and services.
Victim Advocates will respond to incidents of domestic violence or sexual assault 24 hours a day.
Under DoD policy, Restricted Reporting affords victims a new option for confidential disclosure of abuse and to receive
support services. Adult victims of domestic abuse may receive victim advocacy services without requiring notification to law
enforcement or unit commanders. To be eligible for restricted reporting, the victim must disclose to one of the following
individuals: Victim Advocate, Victim Advocate Supervisor or Healthcare Provider (except in the State of California).
Disclosure of abuse to anyone other than those listed above may result in command notification and law enforcement
investigation.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Homefront San Diego is a Non-Profit 501(c)3 organization partnered with The Navy League of San
Diego. Our mission is simple, to offer a hand up to military families in their time of need.
 What We Do:
Homefront San Diego will help with everything from emergency food and gas, to car repairs, furniture, computers and
whatever else a family might need. We do not limit our aid to a set list of services. If a family has a need, we will use
all of our resources to do all we can to help. All services are available to lower enlisted families, deployed or not.
Everything is grant based and will never have to be repaid.
 Emergency Food:
Homefront San Diego provides Commissary or Grocery Store gift cards to meet the emergency food needs a family
may have. There is no rank cut off for receiving food help.
 Emergency Bill Payment Help:
Homefront San Diego will help a family who is in need financially. We will aid the family with immediate help on the
necessities (keeping a reasonably priced car out of repossession, paying a power bill to keep the electricity on when a
family is outside of base housing, keeping a vehicle insured so that it's street legal, etc.). We will follow up this bill
help with advice from our debt counselor who offers his time to Homefront San Diego referred families at no cost to
either the family or Homefront San Diego.
 Household Furniture
Homefront San Diego will provide a family with needed furniture through the generous donations provided by the San
Diego community. We ask that all donated furniture be "fit for a hero." Furniture available through this program
includes but is not limited to: dining room sets, living room furniture, bedroom sets, etc. Mattress sets are provided
once per family, but only to families who do not already have one (adults/parents receive a queen and children receive
a twin). We cannot upgrade your current mattress. All furniture will be delivered to you by one of our transport
volunteers. Delivery times will vary based on our drivers schedules and donor availability. Occasionally our furniture
volunteers can arrange for a furniture transfer to take place directly between a family and a donor if both parties are
agreeable. Wait times to receive a mattress set will vary based on current demand as these are ordered in bulk.
 Baby Furniture:
Homefront San Diego will provide a family with needed baby furniture through the generous donations provided by
the San Diego community. We only accept items that are current with safety standards so you can be assured that you
will receive items that comply with these standards. Furniture available through this program includes but is not
limited to: cribs, changing tables, dressers, swings, highchairs, strollers, car seats, etc. Because of the safety issue, car
seats are an item that we can only accept if new, so their availability will vary.
 Vehicle Repairs:
Homefront San Diego may be able to repair a vehicle for a family at no cost to the family. Vehicle repair requests are
reviewed on a case by case basis. Guarantee of repair cannot be given until one of our assigned shops has first
evaluated the vehicle. Homefront San Diego will provide, at no charge to prequalified military families E5 or below, a
wide range of car repairs.
42
HOMEFRONT SAN DIEGO (cont.)
 Donated Vehicles:


Homefront San Diego can provide a family that currently has no transportation with a donated vehicle. These vehicles
are donated by the generous San Diego community and have been inspected and repaired if necessary to ensure their
safety before the keys are handed over to a family.
Computers:
Homefront San Diego will provide a computer to any military family requesting one. You will receive the Operating
System License along with the working unit. The working system (tower, monitor, mouse, and keyboard) are all
donated by the San Diego community. All of the computers have had their hard drives wiped clean and are inspected
to ensure they have all necessary components.
Food Distributions:
Homefront San Diego does not personally provide a regular food distribution, but we do work closely with 2 fellow
organizations that do. Please refer to their websites to view their distribution schedules:
 San Diego Military Outreach Ministries (MOM)

 Holiday Help

to a partner resource when needed. These holidays include: Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
 4 Lenses: This interactive, fun workshop allows participants the ability to explore their personalities based on four
temperament colors. Participants are given a tool to identify their strengths and weaknesses based on their personality
inventory. Participants walk away with the capability to enhance both personal and work relationships by utilizing the
understanding of personality preferences.
 5 Love Languages: What if you could say or do just the right thing guaranteed to make that special someone feel
loved? The secret is learning the right love language! Millions of couples have learned the simple way to express their
feelings and bring joy back into marriages. This workshop will help couples express their love for their significant
other in the fashion that their mate would desire. This workshop is based on the platinum rule “treat others the way
THEY WANT to be treated.”
 5 Money Personalities: It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for 40 years or dating for 4 months, money touches
every decision you make as a couple—from the $5 cup of coffee to the $500,000 home. And when the two of you
don’t see eye-to-eye on how much to spend or how much to save, that’s when the arguments start. Based on the book
by Scott & Bethany Palmer, this workshop will help you identify which Money Personality you are, what impacts
your loved one’s money decisions, and how to talk about money together.
 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace: At work, people express and receive appreciation in different ways.
If you try to express appreciation in ways that aren’t meaningful to your co-workers, they may not feel valued at all.
This is because you and your co-workers are speaking different languages. In this workshop, we will help you identify
the five languages of appreciation in order to be able to understand and speak your co-worker or staff member’s
language.
 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: In this 3-day workshop, participants gain hands-on experience, applying
timeless principles that yield improved communication, strengthened relationships, increased influence, and laser-like
focus on critical priorities. The course also includes over 30 award-winning videos.
 The Happiness Advantage: Most people believe that only after they’re successful will they finally be happy.
However, based on recent discoveries in the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience, that formula for
happiness is dead wrong. In fact, it’s COMPLETELY backwards. It turns out, happiness actually fuels success, not the
other way around. When we become more positive, our brain becomes more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic,
healthier, resilient and productive. It can be as easy as 20 seconds…but you’ll have to register to find out how. Based
on Shawn Achor’s book by the same title and as taught in Harvard’s famed Happiness Course and to companies
worldwide.
 Building Lasting Relationships: This workshop provides practical information and tools to enhance healthy
relationships and educate service members and their partners on how to successfully nurture and maintain a positive
union. It is designed to be preventative in nature by teaching and demonstrating positive, proactive ways to build a
healthy, lasting relationship.
49
 PREP: Most of what goes wrong in our significant relationships has to do with never having learned the skills and
principles associated with successful relationships. Because of that, PREP dedicates their resources to providing
education for all individuals and couples who value the maintenance of successful, rewarding relationships with the
people who matter in their lives.
 How to Avoid Falling for a Jerk/Jerkette: Based on years of research on marital and premarital happiness, this
workshop will help participants break destructive dating patterns that prevent them from finding the love they deserve.
Topics include asking the right questions to inspire meaningful, revealing conversations with your partner and how to
resolve some of their own emotional baggage to prepare them for a healthy relationship.
 Interpersonal Communication: This workshop is an educational experience to increase competence by using more
effective communication skills to promote healthy relationships (of any kind). The focus is preventative in nature,
enabling service members and their families to function more effectively at home and at work, thereby supporting
personal self-sufficiency and operational readiness in the field.
 Emergency Preparedness: This workshop contains information regarding actions that service members and families
should take to be informed and prepared in the event of natural and man-made hazards. It is important that families
prepare themselves for all types of emergencies, to increase their personal sense of security and peace of mind.
 Family Care Plan: This workshop covers the requirements of the Marine Corps Order 1740.13 which mandates
Marines to put in place a plan of action in order to take care of family members for whom they are responsible during
their absence. It also provides resources that will assist in the completion of their Family Care Plan. (Available by
request only).
 Scared of “The Call”? The Casualty Process De-Mystified: The Marine Corps strives to support the loved ones of
wounded or deceased service members, and many families still do not know what is involved in getting their Marine
home, nor what benefits and services are available to them. Not having knowledge of this process can make it appear
complex and frightening to loved ones. This workshop will help minimize stress and confusion by providing a brief
overview on the casualty process.
 Safe and Sound at Home: This workshop provides important safety precautions for families and instills family
members with the ability and confidence to be responsible for their personal safety and the safety of their loved ones
while their service members are deployed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Program Overview
One of the most difficult things a child can experience is having a parent deployed to a war zone for an
indeterminate period of time. The United Through Reading® Military Program helps ease the stress of separation
for military families by having deployed parents read children’s books aloud via DVD for their child to watch at
home. This powerful program is available to all deploying military units and at select USO locations. It provides
parents a chance to make powerful and lasting connections with their children and parent from afar.
 How it Works:

The Service member reads a book while being recorded and sends the DVD home to the child

The child watches the video at home and follows along with the book if available

The parent at home captures the child’s reaction to the DVD in a photo or email and sends it back to
the service member.

The service member’s morale is boosted by the feedback and he/she is encouraged to read again.
 How to participate:
Ideally, deploying commands request United Through Reading® Military Program several months before
deployment so that our National Program Managers can train command volunteers and spouse volunteers,
provide promotional tools, and offer options for getting necessary equipment.
Today, our National Program Managers are working directly with over 200 Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
Air Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard commands, including more than 60 select USO locations that
are hosting United Through Reading Military Program. In 2006 United Through Reading invited USO to
make the program accessible to Service members who visit participating centers.
