About School chaplaincy
SU chaplains
SU chaplains provide spiritual and emotional support to school communities. They are in the prevention and support business: helping students find a better way to deal with issues ranging from family breakdown and loneliness to friendships and mental health.
They provide a listening ear and a caring presence for children and young people in crisis, and those who just need a friend. They also provide support for staff and parents in school communities.
You can help!
The Federally funded National School Chaplaincy Program (NSCP) has been a great help, but not all school chaplains receive government funding and it is important to note that the NSCP program is only meant to be a contribution towards the costs of a chaplaincy service.
To ensure local chaplaincy services remain sustainable, local community support is vital. SU Chaplaincy supports the initiative by appointing, training, and equipping school chaplains.
Your support can help keep chaplains in schools.
