Chaplain Corp
By the nature of their work, EMS personnel may need the assistance provided by a thoughtful, caring support organization such as Chaplains. The Chaplain does not replace the home church or pastor, but seeks to support the concern of every church for its members who may be in professions with special risks or needs. Moreover, the Chaplain must be for the advantage of every member of the Company, regardless of his or her nationality, race, sex or religion.
The purpose of the Chaplain program
- To minister to those who are in an emotional, physical, or environmental crisis in a way that uplifts, encourages, and strengthens both the KCEAA employee and family.
- To offer an alternative means of relational and/or spiritual peer support for those in need by providing assistance “where they are.”

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)
Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is a comprehensive, integrative, multi-component crisis intervention system. CISM is considered comprehensive because it consists of multiple crisis intervention components, which functionally span the entire temporal spectrum of a crisis. CISM interventions range from the pre-crisis phase through the acute crisis phase, and into the post-crisis phase. CISM also consists of interventions which may be applied to individuals, small functional groups, large groups, families, organizations, and even communities.
To request the CISM Team, call 304-342-1107 or 1-800-560-2055.
The Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority Operates within the Guidelines of the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation.
