    WASHINGTON – Chaplains in Naval District Washington have undertaken advanced interactive training and are ready to assist service members and civilians in need of counseling. Below are some reminders on the importance of confidential communications with a chaplain.

    • Sailors, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and families have the right and privilege to confidential communications with Navy chaplains.

    • Chaplains have the obligation and responsibility to protect and guard what you share in confidence.

    • Your command honors and respects the sacred trust between you and your chaplain.

    • Chaplains support you with dignity, respect and compassion regardless of your religious beliefs.

    • Your chaplain is available 24/7 to provide you a safe place to talk without fear or judgment and serves as an advocate to get you the support you need.
