Prenatal & Postnatal Support PMFRC Prenatal and Postnatal Support offers expectant and new parents an opportunity to meet others and share resources and information both in person and through a private, interactive virtual community. Military Family Navigators Whether you are dealing with a move to a new community, a deployment, or some other transition, a Military Family Navigator can connect you with services and resources to meet your family's needs. Our Navigators can also help families dealing with challenges relating to special needs and inclusion and second language learning. Learn more: Second Language Training Our Second Language Training Programs allow Military family members to increase their language skills to help integrate in their new community, add a new language skill to a resume or prepare for a new posting. Resources to help parents support their child's second language learning are also available. A Navigator is available Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM with no appointment necessary and Tuesday evenings from 4 PM to 8 PM by appointment.
