The Family Advocacy Program (FAP) is a Department of Defense
initiative for the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child physical
abuse, child neglect, child sexual abuse, spouse abuse, and sexual
assault.
Anyone suspecting child abuse should notify a Family Advocacy
Representative (FAR) or Fleet and Family Support Center clinical
counselor. For spouse abuse, ensure the individuals are aware help is
available and/or consult the FAP staff. Just call the number listed
in the contacts section.
It is the responsibility of the FAR to gather
information about the alleged case. The goal of the program is to
provide victims support, strengthen families, and keep valuable service members
in the Navy.
