Build a Community of One Voice Against Domestic Violence

Hours of Operation

Each year, leaders and advocates across the nation proclaim October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. But a yearly proclamation isnt enough. The severity of the problem calls for every person to be engaged in ending domestic violence, year-round. The Navys theme this year focuses on blending our voices to stop it: One Voice Against Domestic Violence. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors and co-workers are challenged to step up and speak out against domestic violence. The Family Advocacy Program (FAP) assesses, treats and educates thousands of domestic violence victims and offenders each year. However, until the entire community becomes proactive, domestic violence will continue its insidious existence in the shadows of our family lives. Everyone needs to speak up when they suspect someone is in danger; staying silent can have grave consequences. The more people get involved, the more American families will get help with this persistent yet hidden threat to safety and welfare. In addition to reporting violence, we need to become educated about the dynamics of abuse. Through education and encouragement, we can begin to dispel the myths that discourage involvement with this issue and can promote healthier communities as a whole. Take a stand and make a difference! What you can do to stop domestic violence:

Many people do not know about the credit scoring systemmuch less their credit scoreuntil they attempt to buy a home, take out a loan out or make a major purchase. Its imperative that all of our service members and their spouses be aware of their score and where they stand.
