The Impact of Chaplaincy
A Chaplain's Journey of Support and Growth During Family Separation
“There was a boy in year 6 that I worked with because his parents were going through a period of separation. I would meet with him twice a week and would be present in that change and loss in his life. During that time a dog that had been with him since he was born passed away. It was his first experience of grief, so I was able to support him through that. I was able to suggest some ways for him to manage his emotions.
In the middle of Term 4, I let him go from my caseload because he was doing much better emotionally as his mum and dad were working on their relationship, and he no longer felt that he needed my help!"
