The National School Chaplain Association (405-831-3299) has expanded their work in Texas and they are now working with schools in Tyler that are interested in adding a chaplain to their staff.
—
The National School Chaplain Association can now offer schools in Tyler a part-time or full-time accredited school chaplain who has been trained through their official chaplaincy certification.

The National School Chaplain Association knows that many schools in and around Tyler, as in the rest of Texas, have seen rates of anxiety, depression, gender confusion, conflict and violence sadly all rising and they believe their respectful, empathetic and supportive chaplains can be the antidote.
All National School Chaplain Association chaplains are highly trained in the skills of conflict resolution and mediation and have been proven to help students because they are seen as a confidential listener and non-judgmental confidant.
As a representative for the association explained, despite many schools consistently investing more money and resources into counseling, this investment has failed to stem the tide of unhappiness and disconnection in schools.
As they stated, “It appears that students do not avail themselves of therapy services because of a lingering stigma and fear that consultations will appear as a footnote on their transcript, curtailing acceptance to post-graduation education. However, talking to a chaplain carries no such weight and informality can lead people to open up when they otherwise wouldn’t. Chaplaincy is a non-threatening solution.”
While chaplains are not designed to replace school counselors or the support of classroom teachers, they are another avenue for help.

As chaplains adhere to the Christian faith, they can also offer student bodies a unique hope and purpose-filled perspective, one that the National School Chaplain Association believes can help students find greater meaning and direction.
This Christian ethos, and its spirit of generosity and empathy, can also be used to diffuse conflicts and tensions, and assist youth character development by encouraging social responsibility and important values like kindness.
Following the passing of the Chaplain Bill in 2023, all schools in the State of Texas are entitled to have a chaplain in their school. The National School Chaplain Association encourages interested school and community members to speak to their team about the chaplain hiring process.
