ACS Programs
The purpose of ACS-Outreach is to enhance readiness and retention by helping soldiers and families develop a stronger sense of self-reliance and belonging in the military community. Outreach targets those families who have the greatest level of need, but are least likely to seek out and take advantage of services until they have reached a state of crisis. Outreach focuses on three main areas: education and prevention, direct services and organizing support networks to encourage self help and cultivate a sense of ownership within the military community.
