All In To End Child Abuse
Our MilKids are priority one.
Every April, the Family Advocacy Program aligns its awareness efforts with National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The 2021 focus is to go “All In to End Child Abuse.” We are committed to joining forces with our military community to keep our MilKids safe. Learn how to help a child you suspect may not be safe.
Go all in to help a child
Every child deserves to feel safe. Be there to help the MilKids in your life. Share this blog and animation with them, so they can learn to help each other too.

The Family Advocacy Program helps kids
Contact your Family Advocacy Program to report child abuse or neglect, or to ask for advice about a child you suspect may be in danger. Your FAP staff members are there to help keep children safe and support their families.
Review resources for child safety
It can be challenging to talk to your children about the types of abuse, or to recognize abuse that is occurring behind closed doors or in isolated circumstances. Read these articles to understand more about how child abuse happens and what you can do to support a kid who may need your help.
