Family Advocacy Program (FAP)
----------------------------------------------------------

 

The Family Advocacy Program (FAP) is a congressionally mandated program intended to prevent and reduce the incidence of family violence, helping to create an environment of intolerance for such behavior. Educational services that focus on prevention are provided in order to circumvent family violence in families assigned to Quantico MCB.

FAP services focus on providing assessment, intervention, and treatment of spouse and child abuse/neglect. Our goal is to prevent family violence by addressing risk factors, the underlying causes of abuse, and the effects of violence on both adults and child victims.

The intent of FAP is to help ensure that victims of domestic violence are safe from future abuse by providing them with the services that can assist them with problems that they may be facing. FAP case management includes:  risk assessment, safety planning, determination of intervention and treatment, with the safety and well-being of victims being the main concern of the clinical provider.

The following treatment services and resources are available within FAP: Clinical Assessments, Clinical Referrals, Domestic Violence Group for Men, Command Consultation, Crisis Intervention, and Victim Advocacy.

The components of Victim Advocacy are as follows:

  • Support and advocacy for victims of spouse abuse, rape, and sexual assault
  • Legal and medical assistance
  • 24-Hour Crisis Intervention
  • Safety Planning
  • Women's Education
  • Support Group
  • Information & Referral
  • Court Advocacy
  • Home Visitation
  • Transitional Compensation
 
Clinical Counseling
 
Life Skills Counselors
----------------------------------------------------------

Military Family Life Consultants (FLC’s) are here to provide short-term counseling to those who may need assistance with personal, private matters. FLC’s do not take notes, records, or any form of identifying information—they provide confidential counseling. This program supports all active duty military, family members, and civilian employees. FLC’s take walk in clients or by appointment.

The Family Life Consultants also hold workshops throughout each month—including Deployment Workshops for Military Spouses or separate workshops for Marines returning from deployment. Additional information on other workshops may be obtained at the phone number below.

Your Military Family Life Consultants are:
Ms. Dianna Dresser-Heckman, LCSW, and Ms. Linda Kovalesky-McLaine, LCSW. They may be reached at 703.784.4220, or in Room 12 in Little Hall.
