Troop education consists of annual education for all soldiers on the family dynamics of spouse and child abuse, availability of prevention and treatment services, and the Army's policies regarding family violence. This includes those persons working in all areas of Child and Youth Services. Community education informs the military community of the extent and nature of spouse and child abuse, and focuses awareness of family violence, how to report it, and available FAP services. The purpose is to promote community support and encourage early referral. Information is disseminated through monthly media contacts, presentations to groups, and participation in all appropriate special military community and unit events, and sponsoring special theme events throughout the year.
Services are also available to families expecting a child.
