Description: Connection Circles are designed to engage at-risk and structurally disadvantaged youth, and the direct care helping professionals who work with them, to increase their conflict resolution skills. Developed originally for a homeless youth shelter in Tucson, Arizona, the project received a two-year grant in 2016 from the JAMS Foundation-ACR Initiative for Students and Youth to expand the application of Connection Circles to other settings throughout the US.
This session will provide everything needed to set up and conduct Connection Circles. Included will be the theoretical foundations of circles; role of the facilitator; overview of the curriculum; and the “how to” of setting up a Connection Circle. In addition, the results will be shared from the evaluation component of the grant.
Objectives:
- Participants will have an understanding of the nature and effectiveness of the circle method
- Participants will identify the three keys to successful implementation of the program
