Chaplains are committed to supporting you and your families with dignity, respect and compassion, regardless of your individual beliefs and religious or personal convictions. One of the unique ways we do this is through the Navy’s policy on confidential communications to chaplains.

Confidential Communications simply means, whatever is said to a Navy Chaplain, remains private between you and that chaplain, and we CANNOT be compelled to break your confidentiality by anyone.

Navy Chaplains are available to provide you a safe place to talk without fear or judgment, and to serve as your advocate to help you get the support needed to overcome the challenges you face.
