<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Multi-Component Family Support Network</B><BR><BR><B>What is it? </B>The
Multi-Component Family Support Network (MCFSN) is a delivery concept that
utilizes current Child and Youth Services' and Family Programs' resources to
ensure all Soldiers and families receive what they need regardless of their
component and geographical location. This will be accomplished in three
ways:<BR><BR>* Train Active Army, Army National Guard, and U.S. Army Reserve
service providers on all authorized services and programs available to Soldiers
and families.<BR>* Market services to families through the "Purple Box" and the
10 Touch Personal Contact System. The "Purple Box" provides information about
resources and services families need. The 10 Touch Personal Contact System
targets families at critical stages during their military life cycle.<BR>* Unify
collaboration of military and civilian service providers through an
Inter-Service Family Assistance Committee, and then meet on a quarterly basis to
discuss programs, issues, and concerns facing military families in their
area.<BR><BR>What has the Army done? The Multi-Component Family Support Network
was initially developed in 2004 by the U.S. Army Community and Family Support
Center, National Guard Bureau, U.S. Army Reserve, and Installation Management
Agency (IMA) Family Programs staffs. In 2005, the pilots tested the delivery of
family programs and services using four distinct approaches:<BR><BR>* The IMA
Southeast Region implemented a state-based model, which focused on the
collaboration of resources within state boundaries.<BR>* The IMA Southwest
Region implemented a regional approach, based upon area demographics.<BR>* The
IMA Northwest Region implemented a community-based model, which focused on the
development of Inter-Service Family Assistance Committees to leverage both
military and civilian resources.<BR><B><A
