Loading...The Beecken Center of The School of Theology at The University of the South, in partnership with NDIN (National Disaster Interfaiths Network), invites clergy and spiritual caregivers of the Episcopal Church and religious leaders all faiths to take this two-day Disaster Chaplain Training in beautiful Sewanee, Tennessee. Participants who complete this certification can volunteer in their own diocese or faith community — or with NDIN or its national partners. NDIN can also assist unaffiliated volunteers in finding disaster spiritual care volunteer opportunities in local communities across the United States.
Emergency managers and disaster mental health professionals may also take this course to develop their knowledge of disaster spiritual care best practices.
This two-day training prepares clergy, religious leaders or spiritual care providers to volunteer as disaster chaplains in mass care settings, or to serve as disaster chaplains within their house of worship, religious community or professional institution.
