The support we provide
We provide a range of support for humanist chaplains. When you join the Humanist Chaplaincy Network you become a member of a vibrant community of humanists who share ideas and knowledge for the greater good. Detailed below are ways we help.
Training in humanism
If you're not already familiar with humanism, our One Life course will bring you up to speed. We run full training at our Sunrise Conference but you can also attend the course at a local group or run through the course independently.
Training in chaplaincy
Join the Humanist Chaplain stream at the next Sunrise Conference. Sunrise runs every September and provides basic training in the practice of chaplaincy from an experienced set of speakers.
Resources
Along with the training we provide, we also provide a full set of resources to back this up as well as additional guides and material on the practice of humanist chaplaincy.
Newsletter
Our quarterly newsletter keeps you up to speed with the latest news and events from the network. Each issue contains articles, advice and information, often written by members of the network.
Community
You'll gain access to our online humanist chaplains forum where you can discuss, debate and chat with other chaplains and get community answers to your questions.
Mentoring
Everyone has the opportunity to get a mentor - someone who is more experienced than they are and someone they can go to when they have a question or problem. In time, new volunteers will become more experienced and will be given their own mentees.
