What is a Chaplain?
Chaplains are most widely recognized as a service found in the military. However, chaplains now serve in corporate settings, schools, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports organizations and other community entities.
Highly trained and with on-going education, chaplains are usually volunteers, not paid for their service. Areas of training include, but are not limited to, Crisis Intervention, Critical Incident Stress Management, Suicidology, Bereavement, Disaster Response, Trauma, and PTSD.
Providing short-term spiritual care and practical help, the chaplain is there to listen and walk beside those who are in need, providing counsel, comfort, and trust all while in strict confidence.
Chaplains are not affiliated with a particular religion, denomination or church
