 When somebody feels like they're at the end of their rope, that they're overwhelmed, they often feel that they're hopeless and helpless. They have nowhere else to turn. Chaplains bring a message of hope. They're visible reminders of hope. And they're also, through their confidential conversations with people, they're often gateways to finding exactly the right kind of help or assistance that people need. So when people feel helpless and hopeless, a chaplain is a great person to talk to to discover hope and find ways to get the right kind of assistance and support.
