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.

How to get started
Getting help is simple:
-
Contact your local SFAC by phone or in person
-
Share what you need help with

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