A recent report from Education Week showed that there were 38 school shootings in 2023 that resulted in deaths or injuries, indicating the extent to which student bodies continue to be at high risk. With a school chaplain on staff, principals and teachers can get support from a trained individual who is able to help spot potential problems and de-escalate situations before they spiral out of control.
“Data shows most mass shootings are planned, meaning there was time for an intervention,” says an NSCA spokesperson. “The number one reason to hire a school chaplain is school safety, as they often provide a last line of defense.”
The organization notes that in many instances, troubled students choose not to use school counseling or therapy services because there is a lingering stigma or fear that such consultations will be formally recorded on their transcript, with implications for the future. In contrast, chaplains offer a non-threatening ear and can often get students to open up in a safe environment.
In addition to helping alleviate safety concerns, school chaplains can also assist with teacher retention rates at a time when resignations are at an all-time high. While offering support for the student body, chaplains are also available 24/7 for staff and teachers.
Chaplains are not therapists, stresses an NSCA representative, and should not be viewed as such. Rather, they exist at the intersection of mental health and spirituality, offering an auxiliary outlet for stress relief and a non-judgmental counseling space.
Certified NSCA chaplains operate under strict ethical systems and are bound by confidentiality regulations. They are non-denominational and do not preach, proselytize, or promote any specific spiritual system. Chaplains offer a holistic approach to healthcare, one in which the existence of spiritual and religious beliefs are accepted as an enduring part of modern life.
