Humanist Counseling in the Dutch Armed Forces is a task in the Armed forces of the Netherlands. Humanist counsellors, sometimes called humanist chaplain, contribute to the (mental) well-being of military personnel, those related to them, and veterans. They do this through visible presence at the workplace, personal contact and guidance. They hold conversations, give advice and offer support. Issues concerning meaning and ethics are central to their work.〔http://humanistischverbond.nl/humanistische-geestelijke-begeleiding-defensie〕 ==Task description== The work of humanist counsellors in the armed forces consists of: *Presence at the workplaces, training locations and during deployments *Individual guidance to (former) military personnel and those related to them *Informal training for groups *Education/training in e.g. ethics *Philosophical/spiritual meetings *Contribution to military ceremonies *Identification of, and advice and counselling on issues that concern the well-being of people (humanization) *Participation in Social Medical Teams (SMT’s), together with other aid and care workers. Humanist counsellors are appointed as civil servants, though for carrying out their work they are viewed equivalent to the military ranks (captain, major or lieutenant colonel). They are employed in the military, not by the military, and work outside the military hierarchy. Professionally they are not accountable to the Ministry of Defence or the military authority, but to the agency that sends them, the Dutch Humanist Society (Humanistisch Verbond). This service exists primarily for the people, not for the military apparatus. Humanist counsellors thus like to call themselves (positively) critically involved. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humanist Counseling in the Dutch Armed Forces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
