Event Details

Sun, Oct 12th

3pm - 4pm

Rev. Sarah Griffith Lund is one of the national leaders of the WISE movement, which seeks to broaden the UCC's welcome by reducing the stigma around mental illness including those experiencing neurodiversity. Neurodiversity pertains to "the range of differences in brain function and behavior among all humans”. Historically, people with a brain that functioned differently were punished or excluded. More recently, they were included. YaY! But it was, and still is, commonly felt that these brains need to be fixed so that the humans with these brains can function in society as we know it. Rev. Lund helps us appreciate their brains and de-stigmatizes them, inviting us to find ways for them to participate more fully in our congregations, communities, and families.
