Presentation

A National Guardsman calls needing his Military records. He was never active duty title 10. How do you help him/her?

• Service Member calls needing help with her

water bill. It has been shut off for two weeks and she has three children living in the house. She is a Veteran of Desert Storm. She is divorced and the sole provider for her kids. She does not receive any VA benefits at this

• time. Her job recently changed and she did not

work the month of July but will receive a paycheck starting on August 4th.

My Son/Daughter is deployed and I need to get a red cross message to him/her what do I do and what do I need for the message to go through?

I am concerned about my husband/ wife when he/she comes home. We have kids together and while he/she has been gone things have changed for the both of us. The kids have been acting out and my spouse has been really distant. I need something but don’t know what.

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of the RISFAC is to connect military families with national, state, regional and community resources as well as volunteer support

• services. Our primary objective is that no service member or family is left
• behind. Across the state each of our TFAC offices hold a RISFAC meeting

quarterly. RISFAC meetings focus on building relationships and awareness of military family needs, and thus we are able to sync resources and services with identified needs. RISFAC meetings are facilitated by the Regional TFAC (or Troop and Family Assistance Center) and participants include agencies,

• rganizations and individuals committed to serving military families.

Additionally, Unit Commanders, Readiness NCOs, Military Liaisons and Family Readiness Group Leaders from all service branches are encouraged to attend in order to develop their own relationship with RISFAC partners.
