The Coast Guard Ombudsman Program connects families to the Command and the Coast Guard, ensuring that families have access to the highest level of support. As your Ombudsman, I can provide support in a number of ways!
- I serve as the primary point of contact for UNIT families. I am available to answer questions, to address concerns, and to provide guidance and support.
- I serve as the primary communication link between families and the Command.
- I am an information and referral specialist, providing information, resources, and referrals to unit families.
- I serve as a representative and advocate for Coast Guard families.
- I can provide assistance during the transition and relocation process.
- I maintain a confidential contact and distribution list to relay messages and distribute information.
- In the event of a disaster or emergency, I relay available messages, work to ensure the well-being of families, and coordinate with appropriate departments and organizations.
- I also provide support during personal crises or emergencies by connecting families and individuals to needed resources and serving as a communication channel between the family and the Command.
All Members and families are eligible to receive support through the Ombudsman Program. I am accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You are never without support — I am here to help!
Your communication with me is protected by the strictest code of confidentiality. However, your safety and well-being take precedence. I am required to report child abuse and neglect, domestic abuse, suicidal risks, and homicidal, violent, or life-endangering situations to the Command and the proper authorities.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if there are any ways that I can support you. It is an incredible honor to serve as your Ombudsman!
Very Respectfully,
Sherri Reardon
