Community Support

The Joint Family Support Assistance Program supports service members and families from all Service branches and components.  The program staff collaborate with existing family support resources to augment activities and fill gaps. Services are delivered in local communities through partnerships with federal and non-federal entities.

Each state has a Joint Family Support Assistance Program support team tailored to their unique needs.  The four-member teams are composed of one Military and Family Life Counselor, one Child and Youth Behavioral Military and Family Life Counselor, one Military OneSource consultant, and one additional staff member selected by the state leadership.
