Welcome to the Fleet and Family Support Program’s virtual Work and Family Life (vWFL).
In addition to in-person services at Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSCs) the vWFL program offers online training workshops, mobile training delivery, and one-on-one consultations supporting commands, Sailors, and their families, especially in geographically isolated and remote locations.
Daily Navy life can be challenging especially while stationed in remote duty stations or underway that can have a negative effect of morale and readiness upon commands, Sailors, and their families. The Navy’s vWFL program has responded to the needs of the force by adding a remote and virtual programs to provide multiple service and support options. This program has expanded its reach with highly trained professionals to provide online services to Sailors and their eligible family members regardless of their location.
vWFL is a Navy-approved platform to assist commands, Sailors, and their families with training and education to assist with everything from transition assistance, personal finance, life skills, to everyday Navy life.
