In April, the DOD recognizes Child Abuse Prevention Month and Month of the Military Child. Every caring adult in the community can play a role in supporting military children, including those impacted by trauma, abuse, or neglect. Whether you’re a parent, mentor, teacher or friend, the MilKid in your life looks up to you. Be a positive influence and help them through the harder days by learning what you can do to help them grow up safe and strong.
If you have concerns about a child’s safety, make sure you know what to do. Call the Fort Belvoir Family Advocacy Program at (571)-231-7028 or (703) 229-2374. Reporting suspected child abuse is required by law for the military chain of command and covered professionals and is always the right thing to do. Together, we are #AllInToEndChildAbuse.
