FAMILY ADVOCACY PROGRAM (FAP)
Constant arguing,
name calling, hurt feelings, pushing and hitting can become destructive family
patterns. Do family members feel controlled or
powerless? Do you have concerns about the physical or emotional
well-being of a child? Families can make positive
changes. The Family Advocacy Program supports families as they solve
their problems through counseling, education, and other needed
services. Safety is a primary concern. Victim Services
provides a safe and confidential way for victims of spouse abuse to seek
assistance, and provides information concerning victim's rights and safety
planning. Victim Services also advocates on behalf of victims for
civilian and military orders of protection and can assist with
transportation. The Family Advocacy Program is responsible for
training the commands regarding the FAP process, spouse and child maltreatment,
and the cycle of violence and its impact on the family and military community.
