Welcome to the Family Services Program at the Defense Supply Center Columbus, providing
- Family Advocacy Program (FAP): designated to address child abuse and neglect, domestic abuse and problematic sexual behavior in children and youth. FAP is delivered through the military services, which work in coordination with key military components and civilian agencies to:
- Promote healthy family relationships to prevent abuse and neglect
- Encourage early identification and prompt reporting
- Promote victim safety and empowerment
- Provide appropriate support to service members, their partners and family members
- Information & Referral: providing information on both military and civilian agencies to Service Members, Family Members, Retirees and Department of Defense Civilians.
- Mobilization & Deployment Support: providing a variety of resources and support programs — ranging from educational briefings to morale calls — for your loved ones, children, and service members to ease the stress of deployment. Military members may be assigned to a specific installation, but support may come from local communities, Yellow Ribbon events or the installation itself.
- New Parent Support & Family Resources: providing support for new and expecting parents, workshops to build and improve skills for healthy relationships, and counseling and/or treatment -- as well as help in planning for safety in a crisis.
- Relocation Readiness: providing relocation assistance to help make PCS moves as smooth as possible. Resources include: PCS planning, workshops and briefings, predeparture briefings, and "settling in" services.
