Chaplaincy Care Services


Chaplaincy Care Services
Chaplaincy care services is a comprehensive care service, yet an inclusive care service. What exactly do I mean by this statement?
Chaplaincy care service is wide and complete in scope. As practicing professional chaplains, we offer care services to the living and the dead, the healthy and the sick, the normal and the abnormal people of the society.
We also offer chaplaincy care services to the distressed, traumatized, depressed, lonely, isolated, victims of circumstances of any kind (e.g. the raped and the rapists and members of their families in practice and service delivery.
We offer chaplaincy care services to people suffering one or more kind of disabilities such as people with mental retardation, imbecility etc.
We also offer chaplaincy care services to overwhelmed frontline professional emergency responders in any emergency situation; frontline professionals like healthcare, service men and women in the military and law enforcement agencies, fire fighters, rescue operators etc, who at times get caught up in compassion fatigue and hazard of their profession.
We offer chaplaincy care services to vulnerable groups in the society such as women, children, girl child, the aged people with difficulties, people with difficult marriages, people with marital and family problems etc with the views of helping in alleviating their sufferings or helping to reduce such sufferings to the barest minimum acceptable level.
We offer chaplaincy care services to people in every sector of the economy in their various professional fields as chaplaincy is a profession cut out to work with other professionals in her practice and service delivery.
We offer chaplaincy care services to religious leaders, political leaders and societal leaders, regardless of their faiths, beliefs and status.
We offer chaplaincy care services in the form of behavioural and attitudinal changes in people to become better members of the society.
What a wonderful windows of opportunities opened to us as chaplains to perform!
