The Family Advocacy Program (FAP) is a command support program responsibe for addressing family violence – both domestic abuse and child abuse - in military families.

Every military installation that supports families has a FAP program to provide the following services:

  • Prevention
  • Identification
  • Assessment
  • Support for victims
  • Treatment for abusers


The military Family Support Centers offer counseling and educational programs and/or referrals for marital/couples issues, anger management, stress management, parenting, mental health, and substance abuse. These programs and services may help prevent domestic abuse as well as decrease the risk for further abuse in a relationship.

For military families who have been identified as being in an abusive situation, the FAP provides intervention, support services, and treatment. FAP works with the Family Support Center and other organizations to provide safety planning, counseling, educational programs, and other services.

Victim advocates work with victims of domestic abuse to address their concerns and to help them access the services they might need to keep themselves and their children safe. Victim advocates are available to work with victims on most installations that support families and can provide confidential advocacy services under the restricted reporting policy. Many civilian domestic abuse programs also have victim advocacy services.
