Collaborative Ministry

A Listening Ear

One great idea is to become the chaplain for your church school. You can visit the school and offer teachers an opportunity to just talk to you as their chaplain. You could also provide brief sessions on how to practice good self-care as well as how to recognize compassion fatigue and burnout. As a listening ear, you provide a safe place where teachers and administrators can use you as a sounding board for new ideas and an intermediary in times of conflict.
