The DOD Family Advocacy Program is a comprehensive military family violence program of prevention, identification, treatment, and rehabilitation under the direction of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Management and Personnel. At military installations worldwide, all of the military services are responsible for acting on cases of family violence. The standard structure for dealing with such cases involves the use of case management teams. These teams collect and analyze data, make a case determination based on the findings, participate in an action plan, and monitor the entire process until closure is achieved. Teams focus on the care and protection of the victim and the prevention of a recurrence of abuse or neglect. After describing the composition and organization of a team, this paper describes the case management process, which involves reporting, investigation, and civilian involvement. A discussion of case conferences considers their purpose, management, and decision alternatives. Other issues discussed are reporting requirements and procedures, records, followup actions (criteria for success and closure), and case management team issues (resources, information sharing, and jurisdiction). 7 references.
