Providing all with opportunities to address the injustices faced by those with mental illness
The Mental Health Sub-Committee of Social Justice provides opportunities for UUCSR members and friends to share information about Mental Health issues, to engage in advocacy, and to promote an environment that reduces stigma and fosters empathy.
The group does this by providing a variety of educational opportunities, promoting understanding of and action on legislative issues addressing mental illness, and hosting support groups at UUCSR organized by the Nassau/Queens affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Such initiatives address the injustice affecting those with mental illness and those who love them.
