Workplace Chaplains for Employee Support
At Occupational Chaplains of America (OCA), we provide professional, on-site chaplain programs for businesses.
Our services are consistent, confidential, and grounded in real human connection. We walk beside your employees through stress, grief, and the moments that matter—always confidential, always without agenda.
Professional Support for Personal Challenges
Familiar Faces. Private Conversations. Real Support.
When life shows up at work—and it always does—employees need more than a helpline. They need someone they know and trust.
Our chaplains become familiar faces at your workplace through regular, in-person visits. We don’t wait for something to go wrong. We build real relationships on your team’s terms, so when life gets heavy, they already know a friendly face they can turn to.
Our chaplains support employees and their families through refreshing encouragement and positive thinking for:
✅ Grief, loss, and trauma
✅ Chronic stress and burnout
✅ Mental health struggles and emotional overwhelm
✅ Interpersonal relationships
✅ Parenting challenges and family strain
✅ Elder care responsibilities and caregiver exhaustion
✅ Workplace or life transitions
✅ Moments of crisis—or simply needing someone to listen

What Makes OCA's Chaplain Program Different?
When support is offered without pressure and grounded in trust, people engage.
That’s what leaders discover with OCA—a proactive, human-first alternative to traditional EAPs. While most EAPs report usage rates below 10%, workplaces that partner with OCA see usage rates of 75–100%.
Why? Because our chaplains show up.
We are visible. We are trusted.
And we’re there before the crisis.
