To prepare the students with the skills and confidence needed to effectively manage crisis situations. How a chaplain responds to crisis profoundly impacts the lives of those involved.

The process of grieving in response to a siginificant loss requires time, patience, courage and support. Our goal is to equip students with the practical skills necessary to minister to the wide range of emotions that individuals experience during those times and to teach them support techniques that will be effective during the grieving process.

Session Four - Internship Preparation
Goal:
To examine the doors of opportunity open to the students within the community in order to utilize their chaplaincy training. Students will be given information concerning what is availableand what will be expected of them during their internship.
