Virginia National Guard Family Assistance Centers

The Family Assistance Center is considered one-stop assistance for those who need services and support. Through partnerships with agencies such as Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion, the Red Cross and other local and national organizations and working closely with military personnel such as chaplains, commanders, JAG Officers and Volunteers, the Family Assistance Center Specialists are able to provide the very best assistance possible. Some of the areas in which a FAC staff can provide assistance includes but is not limited to; TRICARE, DEERS, ID Cards, financial and legal assistance, Community Outreach/referral and Crisis Intervention and referral.

Each FAC Specialist is a trained staff member who is dedicated to providing assistance and support to any and all Service Members, their Families, Veterans, and Civilian Employees during times of need or when experiencing a crisis or emergency. FAC Specialists are located throughout the state and each have different resources that are unique to their region. They can intervene, access, and refer those in need to the appropriate resources
