North Central Washington Chaplain Foundation

Our first goal is to serve First Responders- Law Enforcement, Fire Department, Emergency Medical, Dispatch personnel and Volunteers by providing spiritual, emotional and physical support. This support includes intervention resources and help during times of crisis, critical incidents, traumatic events, and even simply during the stress and concerns of everyday life. Our chaplains pro-actively buil

d rapport and relationships within the first responder communities to assist, support and serve through professional and authentic means. This includes, but is not limited to specialized training in coping skills, CISM, PTSD, LODD, suicide prevention, alcohol and substance abuse, debriefing, intervention, counseling and providing additional resources as needed. Our secondary goal is to serve the families, spouses and children of our first responder personnel. We desire to provide resources, support, guidance, help, hope and purpose which truly reinforce morale, character, and integrity. These foundational qualities help provide stronger core values for individuals, marriages, families, departments and ultimately our communities. Our third goal is for our chaplains to be the spiritual and emotional trauma team, as well as liaisons between the first responders/public during critical incidents, catastrophes and crisis events. Our chaplains have been trained to compassionately walk along side others during some of the most overwhelming life-changing events they may ever face. We desire to help provide comfort, counsel, resources and support to those in need during these critical times.
