EA @ GA 2020

See all that we and our affiliated programs have to offer at UUA’s first virtual General Assembly – GA 2020.

Anytime

  • Poster – UU Mental Health Network. The UU Mental Health Network, a related organization of the UUA, promotes inclusion of people affected by mental health issues in the life and work of our congregations and in the society at large. Find this poster in the “Poster Fair” section of the GA portal.
  • On Demand Video Workshop – Sacred Mental Health Matters. Welcoming is integral to UUism but can be challenging in the presence of those with mental health problems. This session will explore the most important elements found by a sample of UU congregations in meeting this challenge through mental health ministry and advocacy based on belief in the Beloved Community. Rev. Barbara Meyers is the author of Held: Showing Up for Each Other’s Mental Health. Find this workshop in the “On-Demand Library” of the GA Portal.
