“We are not human because we think. We are human because we care. “
~ Rev. Dr. Forrest Church
At the heart of Unitarian Universalism is a deep recognition and respect for the interconnectedness of life. As a faith community, Brookfield Unitarian Universalist Church seeks to foster spiritual health and growth, but recognize that it is equally important to encourage and empower one another to lives of physical, mental, and emotional health and wellbeing. To that end, we offer the following list of community resources to those in need of various services concerning physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing as well as those who wish to acquaint themselves with the availability of these services and share them with others.
