Certification Description
When disasters or other emergencies actually occur, there is always an increased need for religious and psychological support to help people and communities recover from the effects of such events. From school shootings and terrorist bombings to hurricanes and floods, chaplains are needed to help people navigate the emotional stages of processing these events. The Certified Master Chaplain is often deployed in the field, working with victims, survivors, team members, and others.
