This class is open to everyone who has a heart to serve and minister to First Responders! You do NOT have to currently be a Chaplain/Peer Support to attend.

Learn how to effectively serve our Fire/EMS/Military/Police first responders. Chaplains, church leaders, non-profit volunteers, counselors, Hospice personnel, and anyone who has a heart for first responders can be used to minister to these warriors. Chaplains provide a vital service to our heroes. Not only do they support these professionals, but they bring comfort to people who have been displaced by disaster or victimized by crime.

But, WHO TRAINS THE CHAPLAINS? Often well-intentioned people who want to serve as chaplains must learn through the school of hard knocks. In addition, they often have the disadvantage of not understanding the culture and stresses of law enforcement and emergency responders. The realities that are faced daily by police officers, firefighters, military personnel and paramedics markedly differ from the routines that many other people face. Yet with training, this gap can be bridged.

This Level 2 Training will equip each student with practical tips, tools, and techniques to support and minister to our heroes!
