and the Services manage broad-based family advocacy programs designed to prevent,
identify, report, treat, and follow-up cases of child and domestic abuse. In
addition to requiring active command support, the program depends on a successful
interface between social work, law enforcement, judicial and legal services,
shelters, health care providers, educational programs, youth and child care
services, and others.
