FAMILY ASSISTANCE CENTERS: A One-Stop-Shop for Questions & Answers
MISSION:
The primary mission of a Family Assistance Center (FAC) is to inform, educate, and emotionally support families so that service members can perform their mission during times of deployment with the understanding that their families are well-taken care of. The FAC is designed to be a focal point for families to get information and assistance with referral to the appropriate Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) or service agencies to meet the needs that are associated with the deployment or given situation.
