Training Schedule and Registration Links
Currently available courses
Rob, It was great to have you in class today. I always appreciate active participation and relevant comments. Thank you.
I don’t have any classes scheduled in the Washington area right now. I have provided many trainings in the past for Northwest Baptist Disaster Relief. If your church or agency is interested, I would be please to have that discussion with you.
In North Carolina, Baptists on Mission is the same thing as NC Baptist Disaster Relief. That is true in Many states. However, we more frequently see “state name” Baptist Disaster Relief such as Northwest Baptist Disaster Relief.
Hi Naomi,
Great class today. I really appreciate your knowledge and experience.
our church sent a team to NC and we served under Baptists on Mission. It was a great experience for our team of 14. We have been looking into getting more involved with them ongoing.
Can you tell me if there is training in or close to WA state? And also is Baptists on Mission is an affiliate of Southern Baptist Disaster Relief?
Thank you.
Hi,
When will a Disaster Relief Chaplaincy course be available in California, specifically San Diego or other Southern California areas?
Best regards,
Valeria Thompson
Thank you for your interest in Disaster Relief Chaplain training. In-person classes have been cancelled until September. HOWEVER, good news! I’m planning an online DR Chaplain Training for July. Keep an eye on this website under “Training Events” during June. There will be limited spaces, so check regularly for the registration link. You’re the first to know about this online training!
Valerie, the class is now online. Limited spaces available.https://www.csbc.com/events/dr-chaplaincy-manual-online-july-2020?fbclid=IwAR0ADwEckgKvVUgPf_0tWwhDJFtplSMAWcPEmNsyS3hw9rdoomk8GzsaGf8
You mentioned a training opportunity in Friendswood, Texas this coming February. Where can I find some details and what website do I need to go too or who do I need to contact?
Thank you for your interest and question. I’m sending you an email with information. Registration is not open yet.
I would like to attend the disaster relief Chaplaincy training in Bakersfield, CA on 02/23-24/2018.

I cannot thank you enough for your service to our WORLD! These past 3 days were so inspiring!
My son is mailing his registration form for the upcoming October 27-29, 2016, Riverside CISM Individual/Group course. The two of us would love to attend the upcoming San Luis Obispo Suicide Prevention & Intervention conference however we could not find the registration form.
Please advise and safe travels ~ Donna Dichirico
Donna, Thank you for your kind words. It was great to be with you, too. The website is being updated, but meanwhile, I’ll send you the registration forms directly. Thanks for asking about these courses.
Hi Naomi, Wondering if you are able to teach a CISM Grief and Trauma course here in Tucson AZ sometime in the next year? Thanks for all your service, Chaplain Anders Hitchcock, Tucson Community Chaplains Corps, chaplainanders@gmail.com
Hello, Chaplain Hitchcock,
Thank you for this expression of interest in the Grief Following Trauma course. I’m teaching it several times this year, but not in Arizona. I think it could be a real possibility to offer it in Tucson next year. Let’s dialogue about this. I’ll contact you by email from this point forward. Naomi
Good news, Chaplain Hitchcock. The Grief Following Trauma course is scheduled in Payson (just north of Phoenix) on July 24-25, 2015. Registration form is available on the website. Naomi
Dear Naomi,
When is the CISM Chaplain Training in Phoenix? Ron Conn & I would like to attend to finish our Chaplain Program.
Thanks,
Jim McAvoy
Hello, Jim,
Thank you for your interest in Chaplain training in Phoenix. I’m teaching several CISM classes in the Phoenix area. CISM: Workplace Violence on Sept. 30; CISM: Group Crisis Intervention on Oct. 1-2; CISM: Individual and Peer Support on Oct. 3-4. You can find flyers and registration forms on this site very soon. Hope you will be in one of those classes!
Hi Naomi,
I would like to register for the Advanced Group Crisis Intervention course on 5/1-2/2014 in Texas. How do I go abou that. Also, are you teaching this course anytime earlier than May anywhere in the US? Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your interest in this CISM course. The hosting agency has not confirmed details regarding this course yet. As soon as the details are confirmed I will send those to you (they’ll also be posted here at crisisplumbline.com). Sorry to say I am not presently scheduled to teach this anywhere else before May. Thanks, again!
I hope you have noticed that the flyer and registration forms are now online at this site. Hope to see you there!

Hi Naomi,
Hope your Thanksgiving was good and your Christmas is even better! I see your Strategic class in Feb. is tentative. If it happens, I would like to take it. Thank you, Naomi.
Brad Dorton
We have your registration. Thank you!
Kern County Fire Dept. found your workshop in Fresno VERY informative. We are ready to register for the Feb 3-4 2014 Strategic Response workshop in Atascadero. When may we sign up? Thanks, Deborah Johnson
WE have 16 participants registered from your group at Kern County Fire Department. There is still available if you have anyone else interested in participating in The Strategic Response course.
Hello Naomi,
It is your classmate Chip just saying hello and wishing you well. I am interested in the Advanced Group and Strategic Response that is listed on the website. I know you are very busy but am praying that God in his infinite mercy allows you the strength and fortitude to persevere with your teaching schedule. Gods richest blessings to you and yours. Hope to see you soon.
Chip
Great to hear from you ol’ classmate! I’m sorry to say the Advanced Group Crisis Intervention course is not presently scheduled. However, if you know a group who would like to sponsor that class, I would be pleased to discuss it with them. Meanwhile, there are several California courses still on the calendar for this year. Hope to see you at one of them!
OK Sweety, what is Oil Patch Chaplaincy?
We now have many chaplains who serve Roughnecks in the oil fields, who serve executives in oil companies, and serve business folks in the para-oil industry. Oklahoma has a formalized group called Oil Patch Chaplaincy – chaplains are highly trained in crisis intervention because there are many severe accidents and fatalities in the oil field.
I heard there is a training session in December in Arizona. When will that info be posted? Want to register but don’t want to miss the discount price deadline. Any info will be appreciated.
Sorry to have missed this comment and question, Faylin. You didn’t miss anything. Please check the website for all the new classes.
