 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer James Stillepeck. Domestic violence can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, educational level, or social background. Domestic abuse does not have to be physical. It can also be emotional, psychological, or sexual. And it can include the use or threatened use of force or violence against the victim. The Navy Family Advocacy Program, or FAP, provides assistance to victims of domestic violence and provides treatment for the abusers. The command plays a significant role in the prevention of abuse, and education is the key for service members to identify domestic abuse and get the support that's needed. For additional guidance, Navy leaders are encouraged to visit the Navy Leaders Guide for Managing Staylers in Distress. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline or visit thehotline.org.
