Harriet Tubman Network

The Harriet Tubman Network (HTN) is a chaplain group dedicated to matching qualified women chaplains with current veteran servicewomen in need of spiritual counseling for moral injuries suffered during their military service. Named in honor of the deeply religious, courageous, and strong leader of the Underground Railroad, HTN supports women in their darkest hours and guides them to a place of personal freedom, empowerment and strength.

The network is directed by Chaplain Karen Meeker, an Army chaplain colonel serving in the office of The Surgeon General. HTN is not affiliated with the military, but it serves women who are still serving in the military or who have been retired or discharged.

Privacy Policy

We will not share your information with anyone outside of the network. The only people who will have access to your information are the Intake Specialist, the Chaplain who provides support, and the Director of the Network. If we recommend that you be referred to another provider outside of HTN, we will receive your expressed permission to do so. Otherwise, your information is safe with us. We will NEVER sell, trade, or share your information with ANYONE other than those necessary to provide the support you need. Email droberts@chaplainconsultants.com if you have any questions about this policy.

A complaint and investigation process has also been instituted in case a woman ever feels that she is mistreated by one of our chaplains. Of course, we don’t expect that to happen, but misunderstandings do occur. Every complaint will be thoroughly and fairly investigated.
