11. AFAP Issues have been responsible for literally hundreds of legislative, regulatory and policy changes involving the
Services and geared towards improving the quality of Service Member's life and enhancing readiness and retention.
Among the changes benefiting all JBLM services that have come through AFAP are pay increases, dental benefits,
TRICARE reform, life insurance, housing allowances, and enhanced educational opportunities.
How it works:
At the JBLM AFAP Conference, delegates from across the installation, comprised of Service members, Family (Active
Duty, Wounded Warriors, Reserve, Civilian Employees, Family members, Retirees, & Surviving Family members),
review and prioritize the issues that are submitted. All their input and experience goes into working the issues and
finding resolutions.
Although some issues take time or are proven unattainable, every issue is reviewed, monitored, and tracked until a
resolution is found. About 90% of AFAP issues are retained and worked at a local level, resulting in ongoing
community improvements. Issues beyond the scope of Joint Base Lewis-McChord are forwarded to a higher level of
authority.

their family can thrive. Common Sense Parenting targets interventions for toddlers and school aged children.
Stress Free Parenting: is a class that integrates Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR Model) practices to
parenting. If you find yourself overwhelmed with parenting and don’t have the support you need to be the parent
that you want to be, then this group is for you. Parents will learn and practice mindfulness skills to decrease stress.

parenting technique created by Dr. Phelan. Parents will learn how to discipline without arguing, yelling, or
spanking. 1-2-3 Magic gives parents specific and effective skills to address negative behaviors such as tantrums,
aggression, disrespectful language and much more. You will also learn how to assist your child with starting a new
behavior such as chores, manners, and respectful language.
Children’s Groups These are ongoing support programs for your child to interact and play with peers, and for parents to
connect with other parents.
Infant Play Group: is a laid back, interactive atmosphere for parents and infants to begin socializing with one
another. Infants may benefit from socializing with other infants and learning new ways to communicate. Parents
may benefit by receiving support from other parents about resources in the area, feeding tips, sleeping routines
and much more. Infant play group is held every Thursday afternoon at 1300 in the Rainbows and Raindrops Center.
Play Morning: is for all children up to age 5. Play morning is a music centered group where children get to sing,
