Chaplains are spiritual caregivers.  Chaplains are trained to provide a strong presence in an environment filled with uncertainty and suffering, and to take compassionate action to help those who are on a healing journey.  Chaplains go to meet people in need of help, deeply listen to what is revealed in any given moment and stay fully present to try to make the difficult situations more bearable for those who are in suffering.  The steady and non-judgmental care and commitment to “be there” for the clients foster the necessary trust and rapport for transformation to take place. This enables the clients to increase the acceptance to what is, and regain or restore a sense of balance, hope, purpose, and even faith in their lives.
