What are the kinds of problems or situations a chaplain/associate might help an employee with?
Employees frequently come to a chaplain/associate with concerns or struggles relating to marriage, parenting, finances, legal complications, depression, substance abuse, or other job and life stresses. In addition chaplains are available to visit with employees or family members who are hospitalized, home bound, incarcerated, or unable to be at work for other reasons. Chaplains help families move through grief and funeral situations and occasionally conduct weddings, baptisms, dedications, etc. When the presenting issue is outside the expertise or ability of the chaplain/associate, referrals to an EAP provider and numerous other community resources (including other spiritual care providers) are readily and professionally arranged.
