Family
Advocacy Program (FAP)
The purpose of the FAP is to
develop programs and initiatives to prevent spouse and child abuse and
neglect, encourage reporting of all instances of abuse, ensure prompt
assessment and investigation of all reports, provide safety for victims of
abuse and provide support services and treatment for victims, family members
and offenders. FAP supports soldiers and their families in managing personal
and family problems. For soldiers involved in family violence FAP referral
reduces risk, establishes safety limits, and provides treatment for victims
and offenders. Respite care services are available to eligible military
families that can assist with childcare fees up to 20 hours per month for each
child in the family. These families are usually experiencing stressors that
may place children at risk for abuse.

Victim
Advocate Program
The Victim Advocacy Program is designed to
ensure that each person who is a reported victim of domestic violence is
provided support and assistance through the services of a Victim Advocate
Coordinator. Victim Advocates provide direct services to individual victims of
spouse abuse and represent the interests of victims in areas such as: Emotional
support and encouragement, informing victims about resources and referrals to
services, accompanying victims to services and other proceedings, intervening on
behalf of victims with service providers and commands, and informing victims of
their rights within the Army and the civilian community.
The Victim Advocate Program also assists in
locating shelter services for victims of domestic violence and their children.
Anyone in need of possible placement can contact the Victim Advocate
Coordinator for available information concerning services offered by
surrounding shelters.
If you are a victim of abuse, help is
available. Please contact the Victim Advocate at 573-596-0212.
If you would like to volunteer as a victim
advocate, please contact the Victim Advocate at 573-596-0212.

(TC) provides temporary payments
for families in which the absent soldier has been discharged administratively or
by court martial for dependent abuse, or has forfeited all pay and allowances in
disciplinary actions for dependent abuse. Payments are for a minimum of 12
months or for the unserved portion of the active duty service, whichever period
is longer, but may not exceed a maximum of 36 months. Payments are retroactive
to the eligibility date. Eligible spouse and children are also entitled to the
following benefits: Military ID cards until the soldier's separation from the
Army or the eligible spouse divorces the soldier, Commissary and Exchange
privileges for the duration of the TC payment period, and medical or dental care
for problems associated with the abuse in military facilities or through TRICARE.

Family
Violence Prevention Education
The Soldier & Family Readiness prevention
mission is accomplished in part by educating the community about the dynamics of
family violence and available resources, and enhancing interpersonal and coping
skills through training. Community education involves awareness of Family
Advocacy (FAP) services, and making these services accessible and attractive to
those who take the opportunity to use them.
The education and training portion of the FAP
mission is administered through briefings, classes, and participating in
community events.
Presentations that address the dynamics and implications of souse and child
abuse, identification and reporting procedures, and community resources are
provided upon request. They are updated to include current trends to Fort
Leonard Wood, the Army, and society in general and are tailored to meet the
needs of the audience, unit population and/or mission.
Mandatory training in identifying and reporting child abuse is presented to
child care providers no less than annually.
Classes on coping and interpersonal skills, such as stress management and anger
control are available upon request.
Information on community resources and printed materials are provided at
information booths during community events, on and off the installation, such as
Fort Leonard Wood Child Development Fun Fair, McGruff’s Birthday Party, Senior
Health Fair, Retiree Open House, and Kidsfest. Joint awareness displays have
been co-sponsored with the Military Police Crime Prevention Section and Drug and
Alcohol Control Office. During awareness raising campaigns, displays are set up
in public areas and media releases are prepared.
