 Minnesota
Family Assistance Centers (FACs) are geographically dispersed throughout the
state to offer resources, referrals and support to all Servicemembers and
military family members. The FAC staff are connected to communities and the
military units in the surrounding area. They understand that asking for
support is difficult for military families - they also know that challenges
occur that require outside support. No matter what the challenge or
question, the FAC supports military families.
FACs are local resource centers for Service members and military family
members. The FAC staff provides information and referrals to local resources
as well as state and federal military support programs. FAC support staff
are trained professionals that understand the challenges associated with the
military lifestyle. When challenges occur, they provide timely and accurate
information, compassion and reliable support. No matter what challenges
arise, the military family can be assured that a FAC will help with
solutions.
