"Providing Specialized Chaplain Services and Assisting People Responding to Crisis."
Chaplain Services
- People are responding to crisis every day! It is estimated that someone is faced with a major crisis every 50 seconds in which they will require emergency assistance. It is estimated that nearly every person in America will be a victim of serious, life-threatening crime sometime in their life. Approximately one million people each year become victims of a violent crime while at work. (16 people die at work everyday.) Suicide rate have been known to increase as much as 63% in the first year after an earthquake. (Source: Crisis Care Network, Inc)
- This is why Compass Ministries is so vital. People need to turn to someone they can trust in help them through crisis. Partnering with local law enforcement and emergency response teams, Compass Ministries serves by providing Crisis Care Management and Stress Debriefing for first responders as well as the general community citizens.
