Family Advocacy

The mission of the U.S. Air Force Family Advocacy Program is to build healthy communities through implementing programs designed for the prevention and treatment of domestic violence, child abuse and neglect. Our vision is to provide trusted care through education and evidence-based interventions that foster a culture of non-violence and help seeking behaviors.
