Meet the Moment: Strategic Risk Assessment and Engagement for Ministers: This spring cohort will offer a supportive and grounded space for religious leaders to better understand the risks present in their specific contexts and to develop thoughtful, values-aligned strategies for responding. Wednesdays: March 11 and April 8: 12pm to 2pm ET, 11am to 1pm CT/ 10am to 12pm MT/ 9am to 11am PT

Sharing Circles Following Removal of a Minister from Fellowship: Sharing Circles create a confidential space for participants to share and process their reactions to a particularly difficult situation. While these groups are not therapy, they provide an opportunity for participants to gain a better understanding of their own reactions and to recall ways of gaining and maintaining their health and well-being moving forward. Groups will be facilitated by trained members of the Unitarian Universalist Trauma Response Team.
