SUMMARY:UPLIFT Transgender/Nonbinary+ Pastoral Small Group
DESCRIPTION:UPLIFT Transgender/Nonbinary+ Pastoral Small Group \nFriday\, February 9 at 8pm EST \nRegister Here! \nWhat is pastoral care\, exactly? Pastoral care is support with navigating life—big and small things\, joys and hardships and all those mixed together. It’s not therapy\, but a way for us to be in community together\, supporting each other. This is a space to share the hard stuff and to hold the hard stuff that others are navigating in their lives. To read more about pastoral care and find some resources to locate pastoral care\, check out this post by UU Youth Ministry. \nDuring our time together\, our lead chaplain/facilitators will share opening and closing words\, and in between\, there is time for everyone to share what’s on their heards\, and receive what others are sharing about their own lives. It’s a supportive\, judgment-free place to connect with other trans/nonbinary+ people. \nThis year\, the pastoral space is for adults only. If you’re a child or a youth and you’d like to have a space to talk about the hard stuff\, let us know by registering for the pastoral space and putting a note in the registration form comments. When we have enough children and youth registered\, we’ll plan for opening additional spaces for different ages. And stay tuned for additional opportunities for children and youth to connect—we’re working on this! \nClosed captioning will be available\, and any common chat content will also be spoken aloud. Please be mindful of processing and communication access\, and speak one at a time. Meeting will not be recorded\, and participation\, as well as what is shared\, will be confidential. There is no requirement to appear on video or to otherwise maintain “conventional” appearances. Any additional accessibility needs? Let us know by emailing lgbtq@uua.org or aballou@uua.org! We’ll do our best to ensure you can fully access the space.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Language of Diversity
DESCRIPTION:A study by the organization\, More in Common\, shows that 80 percent of Americans believe “political correctness is a problem in our country.” Many people feel cynical about what they feel are the excesses of “wokeness” and “cancel culture.” Yet bias incidents are on the rise in many communities\, and talking about issues related to diversity is more important than ever. In this training\, participants will explore current research on inclusive language and why it is an important part of dismantling bias. Through interactive exercises\, participants will unpack current terminology related to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, and practice strategies for using the “language of diversity” in ways that promote understanding rather than division. \nRegister for October 25 from 9:30am-11:30am \n\nDCR Anti-Discrimination Trainings\nThe New Jersey Division on Civil Rights (DCR) offers trainings aimed at preventing and addressing discrimination through its Education and Training Unit.
