Outreach Program
Outreach Program Overview
The Outreach Program offers briefings, classes and information on Directorate of Personnel & Family Readiness (DPFR) programs. It is a proactive preventive program that informs, educates and assists all Department of Defense (DoD) military personnel (Active Duty, Retired, Reserve and National Guard), DoD Civilians and their Families. This involves developing and implementing methods to actively inform eligible members and their Families of available social and related support services, and linking these services with target populations.
Service delivery methods include exported outreach services, network delivery, and off-base community venues.
