One place to get help during recovery and transition

The Soldier and Family Assistance Center (SFAC) is a one-stop support center for wounded, ill, or injured service members and their families.

SFAC helps you handle the life stuff that comes up during recovery - like benefits, paperwork, money questions, education, and planning for what’s next - so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

SFAC staff work with medical teams, transition programs, and installation resources to make sure service members and families get the right help at the right time.

SFAC locations are designed to feel calm, private, and welcoming, giving you space to ask questions and focus on healing.

Who SFAC Supports

SFAC services are available to:

  • Wounded, ill, or injured service members in recovery or transition programs
  • Families and caregivers supporting a service member
  • In some cases, Reserve and National Guard members, with coordination as needed

If you’re unsure whether SFAC can help with your situation, reach out anyway - staff will help point you in the right direction.

What SFAC can help with

SFAC connects you to support in areas like:

  • Benefits and entitlements
    Help understanding available benefits and next steps
  • Personnel and ID services
    Support with records, ID cards, and related coordination (where available)
  • Transition and employment planning
    Help preparing for return to duty or transition to civilian life
  • Education support
    Education planning, GI Bill guidance, and spouse education resources
  • Financial counseling
    Budgeting help, debt and credit guidance, and emergency financial referrals
  • Family support and referrals
    Help connecting to EFMP services, childcare referrals, translation help, and community resources
  • Legal and spiritual support
    Coordination with legal assistance offices and chaplain services
  • Information and referrals
    If SFAC doesn’t provide a service directly, staff help connect you to the right office quickly

Some services are available on site, while others are offered by appointment or through priority referrals.

 

How to get started

Getting help is simple:

  1. Contact your local SFAC by phone or in person

  2. Share what you need help with

  3. SFAC staff will assist you, schedule follow-ups, or connect you with the right resource

If you have paperwork (orders, LES, medical notes), bring it if you can - but don’t wait if you don’t have everything yet.
