Organisation CSP

At present, six research communities are active, five of which consist of chaplains from a specific setting of chaplaincy care (general hospitals, psychiatry, elderly care, military or prisons) and one of which is mixed (rehabilitation, primary care, juvenile care, care for those with learning disabilities, etc.). Each community is led by one or more academic researchers, who together with other colleagues form a research collaboration group. In total more than 50 chaplains and 10 academic researchers are involved.

Research communities:
Prison led by Reijer de Vries
Hospitals led by Sjaak Körver
Mental healthcare led by Hanneke Muthert
Elderly care led by Jack de Groot
Military led by Carmen Schuhmann en Theo Pleizier
Mixed group led by Martin Walton
