The Family Advocacy Program (FAP) helps Soldiers and their Families recognize and prepare for the unique challenges of military lifestyles. Our services include classes and workshops on topics such as parenting, communication, conflict resolution, anger management, and other topics that build or strengthen healthy relationships.
ACS FAP also leads Fort Campbell's annual awareness campaigns on Teen Dating Violence, Child Abuse Prevention, Domestic Violence Prevention, and Safe Sleep with the goal of strengthening military Families.
There are three sections within FAP which are Prevention Education, New Parent Support Program, and Victim Advocate Program. In addition to these three sections, FAP also coordinates the response to reports of problematic sexual behavior between children and youth.

February is nationally recognized as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM) and this year's theme is "Be About It". ACS FAP leads Fort Campbell's campaign. The Banner Design Contest is one of our initiatives and we ask military affiliated teens to help us design banners that will be published throughout the month. Participants are encouraged to incorporate the theme in their original artwork. Information about the national campaign may be found at: Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention | Info on Teen Dating Violence (teendvmonth.org). For more information about the Banner Design Contest or other TDVAM initiatives, call (270) 412-5500.
