Consumer Education classes offer a variety of topics such as foods and nutrition, planning meals, establishing a spending plan, basic sewing skills, and holiday gifts. These classes are designed to assist the military spouse and family in stretching their dollars. These classes are offered at the Forrestal Village Chapel and free childcare is provided for class attendees. Specialized counseling is available for such issues as transition, domestic violence and sexual assault. Support groups are also available.
Safety is a primary concern.
Victim Services provides a safe and confidential way for victims of spouse abuse to seek assistance, and provides information concerning victim's rights and safety planning. Victim Services also advocates on behalf of victims for civilian and military orders of protection and can assist with transportation. FAP is responsible for training the commands regarding spouse and child maltreatment, the cycle of violence and its impact on the family and military community and the FAP process. Training resources and assistance are available to commands to implement command SAVI programs. A three-day SAVI Advocate training course is offered quarterly for command representatives, Points of Contact and other individuals involved in responding to sexual assault incidents.
