 Victim Advocate Brochure
The Family Advocacy Program provides education, assessments and treatment on many topics. Our mission is to support Marine Corps readiness through prevention and early intervention. The program addresses family violence issues through a Coordinated Community Response to promote safe family relationships and the emotional health of Marines and their families. We all want to be as healthy emotionally as we are physically. We can all use a bit of help from time to time. FAP is here to provide that help. Check us out and see what we can do for you! Below are a few of our prevention and education topics:
- Combat Stress
- Stress and Anger Management
- Family Violence
- Personal Relationships
Our qualified and experienced Prevention & Education Specialist will provide classes and Command briefs. Command briefs are scheduled on a quarterly basis on a variety of topics. We provide classes and workshops at various locations, and we can bring the briefs to you.
GENERAL COUNSELING SERVICES
If you are wishing to explore personal issues with a qualified therapist, help is available. A Counselor will be able to assess your situation and connect you with proper referrals or in-house counseling. General Counseling can help in many ways. Some examples include: helping you and/or your family cope with managing emotions, resolving personal relationship issues, developing conflict resolution skills and discussing parenting issues.
VICTIM ADVOCACY SERVICES
To speak with a Victim Advocate Monday - Friday 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM call 619.524.0421/0265 Advocates are on call 24 hours a day. You are not alone.
If you have been the victim of domestic abuse or sexual assault, our Victim Advocates are here for you when you need them. First and foremost, we will assist in developing a personalized safety plan and help you make the choices that are right for you. We advocate for your rights and wishes as well as provide emotional support and crisis intervention. We can work as a liaison with commands and provide court and medical accompaniment. We can also offer military and community referrals and assist you with accessing these resources.
RESTRICTED REPORTING
The Department of Defense is committed to ensuring victims of domestic abuse are protected, treated with dignity and respect, and provided support, advocacy and care. However, a requirement that all domestic abuse incidents be reported can represent a barrier to victims hoping to gain access to medical and victim advocacy services without command and law enforcement involvement. In order to address these competing interests, victims of domestic abuse incidents now have two reporting options: unrestricted reporting and restricted reporting. You can ask questions and get answers so that you can make informed decisions about your future.
FAMILY ADVOCACY SERVICES (FAP)
FAMILY VIOLENCE
Family Violence is very destructive to the family and also hurts unit readiness. The Family Advocacy Program provides counseling to assist families dealing with spouse and child abuse. We encourage families to seek help at the earliest signs that abuse and violence are occurring. Advocacy for the welfare and safety of an infant or child is everyone’s business. Our services include individual and group counseling. To make an appointment for an assessment and to get your family some assistance: 619.524.0465
Family Violence includes Domestic Abuse and Child Maltreatment. The Department of Defense defines each as follows:
DEFINITIONS
Domestic Abuse Is:
1. Domestic violence or
2. A pattern of behavior resulting in emotional/psychological abuse, economic control, and/or interference with personal liberty that is directed toward a person of the opposite sex who is:
a. a current or former spouse;
b. a person with whom the abuser shares a child in common; or
c. a current or former intimate partner with whom the abuser shares or has shared a common domicile.
Child Maltreatment (abuse or neglect) is: The physical or sexual abuse, emotional maltreatment, or neglect of a child by a parent, guardian, foster parent, or by a caregiver, whether the caregiver is intra-familial or extra-familial, under circumstances indicating that the child's welfare is harmed or threatened. Such acts by a sibling, other family member, or other person shall be deemed to be child maltreatment only when the individual is providing care under express or implied agreement with the parent, guardian, or foster parent.
