Navy Chaplain Corps Offers Resources for Suicide Prevention

Video Transcript:
OFTEN TIMES, THE PRESSURES OF NAVY LIFE, COMBINED WITH THE CHALLENGES OF DAILY LIFE, CAN ALL WEIGH HEAVILY UPON US. 

THERE ARE MANY RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU MANAGE LIFE'S STRESSES BEFORE THEY BECOME TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. 

NAVY CHAPLAINS ARE ONE OF THOSE RESOURCES.

"CHAPLAINS BRING A MESSAGE OF HOPE. THEY'RE VISIBLE REMINDERS OF HOPE. AND THEY'RE ALSO, THROUGH THEIR CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE, THEY'RE OFTEN GATEWAYS TO FINDING EXACTLY THE RIGHT KIND OF HELP OR ASSISTANCE THAT PEOPLE NEED. SO, WHEN PEOPLE FEEL HELPLESS AND HOPELESS, A CHAPLAIN IS A GREAT PERSON TO TALK TO, TO DISCOVER HOPE, AND FIND WAYS TO GET THE RIGHT KIND OF ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT."

IF YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS HAVING THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE, PLEASE CONTACT THE NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION LIFELINE AT 1-800-273-TALK.

FROM THE DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY, I'M PETTY OFFICER AMARA TIMBERLAKE.
