Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse can happen to anyone. Learn about options available for victims, service members, their partners and families.

No relationship is perfect, but it’s important to recognize the warning signs of abuse. Most relationships consist of both healthy and unhealthy behaviors, which don’t always appear overnight. Each person’s situation is different. The Family Advocacy Program provides and coordinates a range of services and works in coordination with key military components and civilian agencies.
