Office of Family Programs
The Office of Family Programs has shifted a lot of our focus to building relationships with community programs and sister Guard resource and referral programs. We have a more holistic approach to the way we offer services. The Office of Family Programs wants to stay in step with the needs of our Service Members and their Families. It is our desire to offer resources that are accessible and effective. The Office of Family Programs is only one of many programs housed under the Service Member and Family Programs division.
