The Navy Chaplain Corps is a first responder in many situations that deal with the health and welfare of an individual. In addition to providing pastoral care, chaplains can provide a safe atmosphere that reduces fear and anxiety and helps the victim of sexual assault re-establish a sense of personal control and self-determination -- all with 100 percent confidentiality. Chaplains also come alongside to help survivors navigate the path to further assistance with other partners in care. Call 1-855-NAVY-311 to connect with a chaplain in your area. For more information, visit the U.S. Navy Chaplain Corps website, the DoD Self Helpline website, the DoN SAPR website, the U.S. Navy SAPR website, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center website, and the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN).
