school chaplaincy
School chaplaincy involves providing spiritual, emotional, and pastoral support to students and staff within educational settings. Chaplains are trained individuals—often with religious or pastoral backgrounds—who offer guidance, crisis support, and a caring presence, regardless of faith. They help create a positive, inclusive school environment by addressing students' well-being, promoting resilience, and fostering social-emotional health. While rooted in religious traditions, chaplaincy services typically aim to support all students, respecting diverse beliefs and backgrounds, and complementing the school's broader pastoral and support networks.
