Note: This training was originally offered in a semester format in 2018.

Our congregations strive to be safe and welcoming places to all. It is impossible to make a congregation 100% safe; however, there are steps that you can take to make your congregation safer while still creating a supportive space for learning, growth, and challenge as well as actively working for the inclusion and safety of all people.

This training provides resources for religious educators, ministers and other congregational leaders to prevent and address violence, abuse, harassment, inappropriate behavior, and other threats to safety.

Kim Sweeney is a credentialed Religious Educator and independent consultant  who worked for seven years as the Lead for Faith Formation and Safe Congregations on the UUA’s New England Regional staff team.
