Are you struggling and needing help?

Depending on what you are struggling with, there are a variety of resources available for you. First and foremost, the ministers and Pastoral Care Team volunteers at our church are ready to assist you. You can reach our on-call minister by emailing cares@jeffersonunitarian.org or calling 720-CHURCH9 (720-248-7249).

Resources in the community – 211

While our Pastoral Care volunteers can help church members with a few rides, a meal or two, or be a companion in a difficult time, many things that you might need are beyond the scope of what our church can do. Fortunately there is a place to find help with everything from food and housing to legal aid and home repairs. It’s called 211, and you can either dial that number from your phone.

To access it by yourself, click here, and you’ll be directed to the entire collection of community assistance resources that you can look through on your schedule, no waiting involved. If you need help navigating the system from on of our Pastoral Care volunteers, write a note to the cares email and we’ll get one of our trained volunteers to help you.

Coping & Resilience

Sometimes we all need a little help figuring out how to deal with life. We might not be ready for a crisis intervention, but we could use a few helpful pointers on how to deal with stress, loss, and more. The Colorado Spirit Team at the Jefferson Center for Mental Health shared this short presentation on the 7 C’s of Resilience with our members in December 2020. Because of personal sharing during the presentation, we aren’t able to share a video, but here’s the full slide-deck of what you might want to know.

Grief & Loss

Are you experiencing grief over the loss of a loved one, or another challenging circumstance? First and foremost, you can always reach out to your ministers by calling 720-CHURCH9 or emailing cares@jeffersonunitarian.org. In addition, there are a number of resources you might want to know about. Our pastoral care team holds a six session grief support group every fall for people looking to connect about grief in community. The Jefferson Center for Mental Health has also put together a compilation of local grief support groups and resources that might also have some of what you’re looking for.
