Nov 18, 2023
Summary
The National School Chaplain Association (NSCA) has announced updates to their accredited school chaplains training program, with an emphasis on counseling, conflict resolution, and school safety. The expanded certification program aims to meet the spiritual needs of students in a non-denominational and compassionate way. The updated training program focuses on equipping chaplains with counseling and conflict resolution skills to prevent crises, particularly in light of the increasing concerns about school safety following mass shootings in the United States.
The NSCA emphasizes that most school shootings could have been prevented through early interventions, and the role of school chaplains is less formal, providing a non-threatening and accessible avenue for troubled students to seek mental health assistance. The organization believes that hiring school chaplains can contribute to improving school safety as they are trained to recognize school safety issues and take steps to create safer learning environments.
The training program includes student counseling to support anxiety and depression, providing holistic healthcare that considers spiritual beliefs and giving relief to overwhelmed teachers and mental health professionals in schools. Participants will also learn conflict resolution skills and intervention techniques for high-tension and potentially dangerous situations involving students.
The NSCA offers an 8-week online Chaplains Certification Course, accredited through Oral Roberts University, which covers basic First Aid training, Active Shooter, and Personality Threat Assessment. The program has rolling admission and can be started at any time, with support and assistance available from NSCA professionals.

As concerns about school safety continue to rise in the United States in the wake of numerous mass shootings, the updated school chaplains training program from the National School Chaplain Association (NSCA) focuses on equipping people with student counseling and conflict resolution skills as part of crisis prevention.
Recent data from the U.S. Secret Service and Department of Education Gun Violence Archive shows that most mass shootings in schools were planned in advance and could have been prevented with early interventions, explains the organization. As therapy services in schools often carry a stigma for students, the role of the school chaplain is less formal and chaplains can help troubled students get mental health assistance in a non-threatening, accessible way. “The number one reason to hire a school chaplain is school safety,” says a NSCA representative. “A chaplain can be the last line of defense, and National School Chaplain Association chaplains are trained to recognize school safety issues and take steps to help create safer learning environments.”
As part of the student counseling portion of the NSCA training program, aspiring chaplains will be trained to support students with anxiety or depression, provide a holistic, non-judgmental approach to healthcare that includes spiritual beliefs, and offer some reprieve for over-burdened teachers and other mental health professionals in a school setting.
Program participants will also learn conflict resolution skills and ways in which to diffuse high-tension situations involving students, as well as techniques to intervene in potentially dangerous situations.
The NSCA Chaplains Certification Course is 8 weeks long and is accredited through Oral Roberts University. It includes basic First Aid training, as well as an Active Shooter and Personality Threat Assessment component.
With rolling admission, the online training program can be started at any time, and NSCA professionals are available to offer support and answer any questions participants may have.
