Services Provided: Assistance is available if you or someone you know is experiencing violence in the home (child or spouse abuse). The FAP Coordinator provides information and assistance in reporting cases of abuse and making referrals for those in need of emergency shelter, medical assistance, and /or counseling.

 

Identification: To identify Soldiers and family members who are involved in child abuse or neglect and/or spouse abuse.

 

Prevention: To encourage self-referral as the primary way a family gets the help it needs. The program’s emphasis is on strengthening families and keeping them together, rather than on punishment. Family members are encouraged to seek help when they recognize warning signs that indicate they may be mistreating their children or failing to communicate effectively with their spouses.  View Prevention/Outreach Program Brochure
