Chaplains On Hand includes the Chat With A Chaplain feature where you can connect by email or phone 844-CHAPLAIN (844-242-7524) with a professional chaplain who is trained to listen well and offer spiritual comfort and support to everyone regardless of religion or beliefs.
Chaplains On Hand is a free service of HealthCare Chaplaincy Network, a national health care organization dedicated to helping people faced with the distress of illness and suffering find comfort and meaning. Professional chaplains do not provide definitive answers to questions and issues of spiritual distress. Instead, they help people in spiritual distress to identify and draw upon their sources of spiritual strength – regardless of religion or beliefs. A health care chaplain becomes board certified by one of the professional associations when he or she meets the requirements: has completed graduate level study and 1600 hours of supervised clinical training, demonstrates competencies through a rigorous peer review process, and commits to a professional code of ethics prohibits proselytizing.
