Good Offices Care Team Support Request Form

A UUMA Good Offices Care Team member is a colleague who will listen deeply with non-judgment and empathy, attend to your dignity and integrity, strive to create the sacred space of trust, and will commit to ongoing education and development in arenas that include anti-racism and intersectionality, justice, self-awareness, and good boundaries in ministry. UUMA Good Offices Care Team members recognize the complex web of personal and private life impacting our ministries. UUMA Good Offices Care Team members offer support to ministers who are experiencing pain or loss (emotional, mental, physical, financial, spiritual) or need appropriate referrals for longer-term spiritual and emotional support.  They also accompany colleagues who are accused of ministerial misconduct.   

Members of this team do not serve as therapist, judge, spiritual director or even as professional chaplain.  They are ministers with a wide range of experience who are committed to offering deep listening, care, compassion, presence and support to colleagues who are experiencing stress, tension, or crisis that is impacting their practice of ministry.  Good Offices Care Team members commit to a rigorous practice of confidentiality and accountability to the expectations and limits of the role.
