As school safety continues to be a growing topic of concern across the United States, the professional training program equips service-minded individuals with the skills necessary to support students and teachers in your school.
Recent statistics from U.S. News and World Report show that teacher resignations and staff turnover rates are at an all-time high across the nation, with many educators citing burnout and security concerns as reasons for leaving the field. Recognizing the need for greater support in educational settings, the NSCA course is designed to give individuals the tools to empower your school and staff members. “School chaplains help increase teacher retention rates,” explains a spokesperson. “The ‘ministry of presence’ provides teachers and staff with a place to turn when life gets hard.”
While the NSCA notes that school chaplains are not therapists, they point out that chaplains are trained to offer a nonjudgmental outlet for you and your students to unload stress and anxiety, while providing spiritual support.
With Active Shooter, Threat Assessment, and Stop the Bleed safety certifications as part of the training, chaplains are also trained to recognize potential school safety issues before they escalate, helping to contribute to a safer learning environment for your students.
The NSCA chaplain certification course is available for anyone with a background in ministry or education and includes a nationally recognized school chaplaincy qualification, guidance on how to integrate chaplains seamlessly into your school, and continued educational training and support.
According to the organization, successful school chaplaincy incorporates a 5-point process: introduction and relationship building, awareness created through on-site visits, active engagement with staff members, 24/7 chaplain access by phone and secure app, and offsite supervision from the NSCA’s Senior Chaplain Board.
Start empowering your school today with support from an NSCA trained chaplain!
