 September is Suicide Prevention Month and Navy chaplains are an important and confidential resource that sailors and their families have. Chaplains spend time honing their listening skills to stay attuned to the needs of their people, particularly if someone may be at risk. As a chaplain corps then we spend time in training to remind ourselves of the tools that we have available to us, to train each other, to listen, and to enhance our own skill sets, to ensure that a sailor knows, a family member knows, that a chaplain is a safe place to go where they can have complete confidentiality and someone who has within their own wherewithal the resources that that individual sailor family member needs so desperately. Contact your command chaplain today or call Navy 311 for chaplain support in your area or the military crisis line.
