Harmful Behavior Stops Here
If you’re treating your partner with more harm than heart, it’s time to take the first step to find support. It can help you and your relationship.
It's never too early to get help.
The best time to reach out for help is before something bad happens. If you're noticing harmful habits in your interactions with your partner, the Family Advocacy Program is here with support.
Take a pause and think about your behavior. Do you:
- Put unfair blame on your partner?
- Take control of your partner's spending?
- Monitor their location?
- Threaten their safety? Or the safety of yourself, a loved one or a pet?
- Criticize their words or actions?
These could be signs of trouble ahead. To get help to uncover underlying problems and talk through your options, start with your local Family Advocacy Program.

What happens when I go to FAP?
Getting help can be an uncomfortable, but important process — and it can help to know what to expect.
When you call the Family Advocacy Program, you can expect to:
- Talk with a clinician about your situation
- Identify harmful behaviors you may be exhibiting
- Create a treatment plan, including individual or couples counseling and preventative programs
Your conversation stays confidential unless you disclose any behavior that puts someone else in danger or would be considered abusive. To talk privately, reach out to a chaplain.
If you or someone else makes a report of abuse against you, a different process happens, where command and law enforcement are involved.
