Mission
Statement
The Family Advocacy Program (FAP) works to promote public awareness within the military and civilian communities and coordinate professional intervention at all levels, including law enforcement, social services, health services, and legal services. FAP is designed to break the cycle of abuse by identifying abuse as early as possible and providing treatment to the affected family member. FAP works with individuals and families to strengthen family relationships and prevent child and spouse maltreatment. The program is dedicated to enhancing individual coping skills and alleviating the underlying causes of stress associated with family violence. FAP also provides education services in child abuse, spouse and family violence, parenting and stress management. The objectives of the FAP are to prevent spouse and child abuse, to encourage the reporting of all instances of such abuse, to ensure the prompt assessment and investigation of all abuse cases, to protect victims of abuse, and to treat all family members affected by or involved in abuse. For more information, please contact the Family Advocacy Program at 703-805-3980.
