Promote Emotional Well-Being in Schools By Supporting Chaplaincy In Angleton
The NSCA is reaching out to school heads, teaching staff, parents, and community members who want to advocate for the installation of a licensed NSCA chaplain in their school.
With 7 in 10 US teens saying anxiety and depression are a major challenge to them and to their peers, the NSCA has seen that emotional well-being in schools is at an all-time low.
The NSCA trains their chaplains to meet this challenge and to create a safe space in which your students can receive confidential counseling and uplifting spiritual guidance.
If your school is one of the many in Texas that don't have access to a counselor, a certified chaplain can also strongly fortify your school’s mental health support structures.
Chaplains can help to tackle other challenges like school bullying, gun violence, explicit material sharing, and gender confusion by providing moral and ethical education.
With NSCA chaplains now welcome in the state of Texas, the association encourages you to lobby for their presence in your school.
The NSCA said, “School chaplains increase moral values, ethics, character development, integrity and compassion, and improve emotional well-being and self-image among students.”
