Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) 29 Oct 14 Yuma Proving Ground Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) 29 Oct 14

What Is Army Family Action Plan (AFAP)? A grassroots, Army-wide initiative to identify and prioritize issues to enhance the quality of life for Soldiers, retirees, survivors, DA civilians and their Families. To provide the Army community a “voice” in shaping their quality of life and identifying issues related to the current environment. A representation from all constituent groups who identify and prioritize issues that reflect the quality of life needs of Army members. Our focus in Family Programs has continued to support Army priorities: Support to the geographically dispersed, leveraging technology, respite care for exceptional Family members, support to the wounded Soldier and to Survivors of those Soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. In light of longer dwell time and increased time for reintegration we are focusing our efforts on the prevention of domestic violence. Victim Advocates support the victim and assist the victim to negotiate complex systems when an incident does occur. They are also supporting the transition of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program to the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention Program also known as SHARP. “Your Voice in the Army’s Future”
