Chaplaincy is a ministry of presence, compassion and deep human encounter. At GoHealth we can support you with training, connection and community so you can flourish in your calling.
Chaplains bring a unique and essential presence into places of complexity and care—hospitals, churches, schools, workplaces, prisons and communities.
They sit with people in moments of:
- Illness and recovery
- Grief and loss
- Uncertainty and transition
- Deep spiritual questioning
Their work is often unseen, but profoundly significant.
And yet, chaplains are frequently working with little structured training or ongoing support.
We have a course that helps
The Chaplaincy Course is a self-led online programme designed to strengthen and support your ministry. It draws on theology, science, psychology and lived experience to explore:
- The ministry of presence
- Trauma, Loss and Pastoral Care
- The science of pastoral ministry
- Human Flourishing and wellbeing
- Narrative medicine
- Burnout and sustainable ministry
- Vocational discernment
It is suitable for chaplains in any sector, as well as pastoral workers and those discerning a call to chaplaincy.
“The course has strengthened my conviction that chaplaincy is an important ministry, given me confidence, and energised me for the challenges ahead.”
David
But knowledge isn’t enough—we also need connection
Chaplaincy is meaningful work, but it can also be isolating.
That’s why we have created The GoHealth Chaplains’ Network.
A quarterly online gathering where chaplains can:
- Connect with others who understand the work.
- Reflect together on practice
- Receive input on key topics
- Explore trauma-informed and sustainable ministry
It is a space for reflection, support, and shared learning.
“Hanging out with other chaplains and hearing their stories – priceless.”
Sue
