School Chaplaincy, Pastoral Care & Counselling Services Improve Mental Health

by PRC Agency PR

If your small school community feels especially small in the face of today’s challenges, and you lack the support services you need to make the lives of your students and teachers better, the National School Chaplain Association is here to help.

The association has long been the governing body for school chaplains in the United States, responsible for training new chaplains and placing them in elementary, middle, and high schools across the country. Now, with their tailored spiritual care services, the National School Chaplain Association is working alongside small school communities like yours. Whether you run a public or private school, and especially if you are in a remote or regional area and would like to have a dedicated school chaplain working with your staff and students, they are here for you.

As the needs of staff, students, and school communities across the US change, the National School Chaplain Association is likewise changing the way they train new chaplains and is retraining experienced chaplains to ensure they have the knowledge and tools they need to make a meaningful difference.

If you lead a small school community, especially one in a rural area, it is likely you face systemic disadvantages when it comes to providing your students with both mental health and pastoral care; both of which school chaplains can provide. As the latest research from Washington State University showcased, rural schools are 19% less likely to have this kind of support than city schools.

Given that students are reporting higher levels of anxiety, depression, and bullying than ever before and school teachers are likewise experiencing higher rates of burnout than ever before, the National School Chaplain Association believes there are vast gaps in the community support offered to schools.

As such, they recommend that you get in contact with the association to see how a tailored spiritual care solution can be developed for your school, one which will work to improve mental health amongst both your staff and students.

A spokesperson for the National School Chaplain Association said, “Hiring a chaplain in your school makes a direct impact on the students, staff, educators, as well as the entire community through increased school safety, better teacher retention, and enhanced mental health support.”

If you’re a small school community, you need the help of a much bigger organization to provide you with spiritual and pastoral care.
