The Marine Intercept Program (MIP) is an outreach program offering ongoing support to Marines and attached Sailors who have had suicide ideations or attempts. Licensed installation Community Counseling Program (CCP) counselors provide follow-up contact, care coordination, and suicide risk assessment to Marines and attached Sailors. The CCP MIP counselors will make a series of caring contacts for 90 days post ideation or attempt. Research indicates that the risk for a repeat suicide-related event or death by suicide is highest during the first 90 days after the ideation or attempt.

The Marine Intercept Program (MIP) is collaboration between a Marine, the Marine's Commander, the installation Community Counseling Program (CCP), and Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC). MIP services are provided by installation CCPs to Marines for whom HQMC receives a Serious Incident Report (SIR) or Personnel Casualty Report (PCR) for a suicide ideation {SI) or suicide attempt (SA). MIP services use evidence-informed practices to follow up with a Marine after a SI or SA. After contact with the Marine, the CCP MIP counselor will reach back out to the command and provide updates on the Marine's current status. The goal is to reach out with non-medical continued caring contacts along with risk assessment and safety planning.

Command

The command contacts the installation CCP closest in proximity to where the Operations Event/Incident Report (OPREP-3), SIR, or PCR was submitted in response to an identified SI or SA. MIP does not duplicate, replace, or interfere with existing services. MIP is outreach NOT treatment.
Commands can provide support by:

• Being the point of contact to assist in tracking the Marine's care and resources.
• Providing contact information if the Marine is currently receiving inpatient care, and informing CCP immediately upon discharge-this is a time of increased risk
• Influencing the Marine's engagement in services
• Providing feedback and input regarding the Marine
• Receiving status updates from the MIP counselor
• Assisting with reintegration
• Ensuring all units are familiar with MIP and the added layer of support it can provide

Marine

MIP is:

• Voluntary
• Caring contacts
• Care coordination
• System navigation assistance
• Risk assessment and safety planning

Counselor

Once a Marine is identified as having SI or SA, the Community Counseling Center assigns a counselor to provide caring contacts.
The MIP counselors will:

• Focus on highest risk time period
• Make contact with Marine at days 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90
• Maintain a collaborative approach with command leadership and healthcare providers
• Use evidence-informed suicide risk assessment tools (Columbia Suicide Severity Risk Scale)
• Create and update a Safety Plan, an evidence-informed tool

Victim Advocates

The role of the Victim Advocate is to represent the interest of victims of spouse abuse, non-offending parent child abuse, sexual assault, and rape. Victim Advocates support the victim's safety. A victim is not safe until free from violent acts themselves, and also threats of those acts.  Victim Advocates support the victim's autonomy. You have the right to make decisions about what is in your best interest.  However, if there has been a domestic violence incident our staff is required to report suspected child abuse and spouse abuse.  We respect your ability and responsibility to make decisions involving your safety and well being. Our Victim Advocate services are available to you if you are experiencing physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

• Information and referrals to other services
• Crisis intervention
• Accompaniment to medical, legal, law enforcement and FAP assessment interviews
• Help developing safety plans
• Help obtaining protective orders
• Assistance with victim impact statements
• Information to victims on all decisions and actions taken on cases involving them
• Educate spouses on their rights and what assistance is available
• Educate and advise service providers, agencies and the public about the dynamics of interpersonal violence
• Work to change the system’s response to one that insures protection for the victim and emotional support

Types of Reporting

Unrestricted Reporting - Adult victims of domestic abuse who wish to pursue an official investigation of the incident should use standard reporting channels (e.g. chain of command, FAP. or law enforcement).

Restricted Reporting - provides adult victims access to medical and victim advocacy services without command or law enforcement involvement,  Reporting can encourage victims to feel more comfortable and safe about reporting doemstic abuse. Only adult victims are eligible to elect restricted reporting. Adult victims of domestic abuse who desire restricted reporting under this policy must report the abuse to one of the following specified individuals: FAP Clinician, VA or VA Supervisor, or DoD Healthcare Provider.

Transitional Compensation for Abused Dependents (TCAD)

The purpose of TCAD is to provide temporary financial assistance to eligible family members and, when applicable, Service Members. TCAD helps to ease the financila burden for eiligible family members afer the Marine offender is separated from the Marine Corps for a dependent-abuse offense. Any domestic abuse offense acted out by a Service Member upon eligible spouse and/or children. The Offense must be a criminal offense as specified under UCMJ Federal criminal law, criminal laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the U.S., and/or laws of other nations. The Victim Advocate can assist with Transitional Compensation if you qualify.

Domestic Violence is not a Marine Corps Value

Marine Corps policy states that acts of domestic violence or neglect are incompatible with the high standards of professional and personal discipline required of members of the Marine Corps. A Marine who is abusing his or her spouse cannot be considered a good Marine, since this behavior is contrary to the Core Values and standards of excellence of the Marine Corps. Turning to the Family Advocacy Program for help does not mean that your spouse's career will be ruined or that you must end your marriage. In fact, turning to FAP for assistance in dealing with family problems will help keep you and your children safe, and maybe help your partner before it's too late for career, marriage, and family.
