To report suspected abuse:
The Family Advocacy Program (FAP) outlined in AR 608-18, focuses attention on family life and the needs of spouses, children, and Soldiers. Fort Bragg has procedures and policies that detail responsibilities for the investigation and management of reported incidents of child/spouse abuse cases. Other programs included under FAP are the New Parent Support Program , Victim Advocate Program, and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program .
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.
Education: To encourage all people to be alert and to report a situation dangerous or harmful to a child, and to educate community members on reporting suspected child maltreatment and spouse abuse.
Classes: Parenting (all ages), Stress Management, Anger Management, Couples Communication, Co-Parenting Children of Divorce and Custody
Treatment: To provide referrals for individual, martial, & family counseling; including the use of appropriate child management techniques, and how to improve couples communication skills.
Victim Advocates: Provide assistance to victims of domestic violence to include information on obtaining restraining orders, accompanying a victim to court, & information/referral to appropriate agencies.
Please call (910) 396-5521 to contact a Victim Advocate or contact the Domestic Violence Hotline (24 hours a day) (910) 322-3418.
