Chaplains International Chaplaincy Training

This one-day training specializes in providing crucial training on the field of disasters, for first responder Chaplains during and after the disaster occurrence in your community to provide care and compassion to hurting people during the crisis or disasters.

 This training will explore the theoretical, operational components of crisis intervention and important training tools to use while learning from Master Chaplain David A Johnson with real-world experience. Students will learn how to function within a crisis setting, such as learning how to communicate with law enforcement and emergency service responders as well as receiving basic training in lay counseling and crisis intervention. These powerful techniques are valuable when dealing with police, fire Dept, Emergency medical services and your local community in a crisis. If you currently have a Chaplain program in place and need ongoing training or you are wanting to start a new Chaplain program, we have you covered. Through Chaplains International you, experienced or not, will become certified first responder Chaplains for you or your department. If your first responders that are not chaplains want to take this training, they would receive a certificate in first responder crisis intervention for ongoing education.
