Angleton Certified School Chaplains Empower Students & Reduce Anxiety Levels

by PRC Agency PR

As an educator, you may be feeling overwhelmed by everything that's happening in American schools. You might even be close to burnout.

Rather than quitting your job and contributing to the low teacher retention rate across the nation, consider hiring a school chaplain!

NSCA-certified chaplains contribute directly to the well-being of students and teachers in Texas schools, affecting lives positively through reduced stress levels and greater empowerment.

Having a trained chaplain on staff can benefit your school in many ways, as chaplains function as a source of confidential support for educators, administrative staff, and students.

Studies from Dublin City University show that having a school chaplain in an educational institution can help reduce stress levels for students as a chaplaincy provides a space for spiritual growth, informal counseling, and personal transformation. With a certified NSCA chaplain on board, your school can provide an additional mental health outlet for students and educators alike. “School chaplains are not therapists; however, they are able to offer a nonjudgmental channel for individuals to unload stress and anxiety,” explains a spokesperson for the NSCA. “At a time when teacher resignations are at an all-time high, the ‘ministry of presence’ from a chaplain provides teachers and staff with a place to go when life gets hard.”

In addition to empowering your students and staff, chaplains can also make a direct contribution to greater school safety, as they are trained to recognize escalating issues. To this end, the NSCA chaplain course includes three foundational safety certifications: Threat Assessment, Active Shooter, and Stop the Bleed.

Chaplains are trained to take a non-denominational, inclusive approach to their role within your school and to respect the faith boundaries of all individuals, adhering to the standards and expectations for a confidential, permission-based, secular workplace.

Your school is eligible for chaplain services no matter what size it is, and smaller school districts may share a single chaplain. When employed by your school, NSCA chaplains are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to care for teachers and district employees, as well as your students.

Participants in the NSCA certification course undergo rigorous screening and a background in ministry or education is generally required. The accredited, 8-week program has open enrollment and can be joined any time.

Take some stress off your teachers and students now by hiring an NSCA-certified chaplain!
