We all experience challenging times in our lives. Having someone who can listen deeply to our experiences without judgment or giving advice can be truly healing. If you are experiencing such a time, Westminster's Listening Care Team is here for you.
To be paired with one of our lay listening care providers, please email us at listeningcareteam@westminsteruu.org or contact Rev. Deborah by text or phone at 401-262-7377.
Based on the first UU Principle, affirming the inherent worth and dignity of every person, our goal is to provide a ministry of hope and caring through one-on-one deep listening for the non-emergency needs of Westminster Unitarian Church members and friends.
We do this by:
- combining life experience and learned support skills to listen to you with an open heart
- connecting in person, by phone, or via video conference for a mutually agreed upon time of up to 60 minutes
- meeting one time or on an agreed-upon regular basis
- refraining from giving advice, judging, fixing, or absolving
- bearing witness to your experience and wisdom
