Barbara gives workshops, webinars and classes about mental health and religion in congregations, seminaries and throughout the community.

An example is the webinar: Mental Health Information for Ministers and Lay Leaders:

Our pews are filled with people suffering often silently from mental illness, either their own, or that of a loved one.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• The congregation’s role in addressing mental health
• General information about mental health and recovery
• Some specific mental health problems and how to address them
• Religion / Spirituality and mental illness

Contact Rev. Barbara Meyers com_minister @ mpuuc.org if you would like her to give a presentation to your group.

COMPANIONSHIP: WHERE NO ONE WALKS ALONE

Companionship is a dynamic and inspirational model that empowers everyday individuals to support those experiencing emotional or mental distress. This approach emphasizes intentionality, presence, and relational care, making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
