Reentry Support Circles
Community, not isolation.
Reentry Support Circles are small-group, peer-led gatherings for individuals transitioning out of incarceration. These circles provide a consistent space for belonging, emotional processing, problem-solving, and accountability.
Each circle is guided by trauma-responsive principles and includes:
-
Weekly in-person or virtual gatherings
-
Shared check-ins, goal setting, and relational skill-building
-
Peer mentorship and facilitated healing conversations
-
Gentle structure focused on safety, connection, and progress
Circles are open to men and women in early reentry (first 12–18 months post-release) and often operate in tandem with mentorship and housing support.
Purpose: Reduce isolation, build relational resilience, and increase long-term success.
Optional Add-ons: Circle leader training, partnership with parole/probation officers, and transportation assistance.
