Working to reduce stigma & promote the inclusion of people with mental health challenges and neurodiversity.
The United Church of Christ Mental Health Network proclaims and celebrates the basic sacred right each individual has to their own mental health. Therefore, our mission is to reduce stigma, and promote the inclusion of people and families with self-reported emotional/neurodiverse symptoms, experiences, and diagnoses, in the life and leadership of congregations, synagogues, and organizations.
We recognize the despair prevalent in today’s world and respond in joyful embrace of the individual’s divinity and dignity. Our programs normalize the conversation around mental health, and seek to prevent isolation and suicide by centering on education, belonging, and safety.
