Circles of Support

What are "Circles"?
In 2018 Project RETURN added a new element to its programming—one that has been proven to reduce recidivism rates in other communities both in the U.S. and in Canada. Circles of Support are small groups that meet regularly to provide a stable, supportive network to individuals returning from incarceration. Members of each circle include formerly incarcerated people, a trained circle keeper, and community volunteers. Through a structured process, members grow with each other, learn from one another, and help the community heal from the trauma experienced through poverty and crime and from the direct impact of incarceration. A full listing and schedule of Circles of Support can be found here |

Family Circle

The Family Circle supports the family members of those who are, or who have been, incarcerated and would like to find a place to be heard, understood, and supported. Circle members will explore topics surrounding incarceration and its impact on the lives of people it affects. For a flyer on the Family Circle please click here.
