Naval Air Station Corpus Christi

CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS - (News Release) NASCC Commanding Officer, Capt. Ty Jurica and members from the NASCC Fleet & Family Support Center gathered recently to sign a proclamation recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month onboard NASCC.

The Defense Department is committed to the safety and well-being of military families. Living a life that is safe, secure and free from abuse is a basic human need. All reports of domestic abuse are taken seriously, and resources are available to help victims.

Family Advocacy Program staff members are always available to support those impacted by domestic abuse, whether they are at a point where they want to leave their partner or are just looking for information. They work with victims to develop a safety plan, and can connect them to emergency services, counseling and emotional support, housing and shelter, and financial and legal services. If needed, they can help victims get a military or civilian protection order.

If you are concerned about your safety and need immediate support, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233, or live chat with an advocate at thehotline.org
