Our Promise

A Safe Space — On Purpose

We created these circles to be the kind of space families wish existed sooner: calm, respectful, and safe. Teens and the adults who care about them should not have to feel judged for needing support.

Private group: this is not a public drop-in. Registration is required so we can protect the environment.
Bullying, harassment, threats, hate speech, or disrespect will not be tolerated. If someone cannot follow the group standards, they may be removed to protect the safety of others.

Needing help does not exclude you. Many participants come because they feel overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, or emotionally tired. This is a place to be supported — not judged.

What You’ll Experience

Facilitated sessions with structure that helps people feel safe.
Connection without pressure — no one is forced to share more than they are comfortable sharing.
Practical coping tools such as communication skills, emotional regulation, and self-advocacy.
Support and resources for families who may need additional guidance beyond the circle.

What This Is (and Isn’t)

This is: a structured support space and community-based group experience.
This is not: therapy, counseling, or clinical treatment.
This is not: crisis intervention.
Safety comes first: if someone needs urgent help, we will pause and connect the family to appropriate support.

Support and safety can coexist. Teens who are struggling are still welcome here. If someone needs a higher level of care, we will work with the family to connect them to the right resources.

Teen Support Circle (Ages 13–18)

A safe, structured space for teens to talk about stress and emotions, learn healthy coping skills, connect with peers, and build confidence — without judgment or pressure to perform.

Schedule: 1st & 3rd Fridays • 4:30–6:30 PM (2 hours)

Parent/Guardian Support Circle

A supportive space for parents, guardians, and loved ones of teens to share experiences, reduce isolation, and feel understood — especially when you are doing your best and still feel overwhelmed.

Schedule: 2nd Tuesday of each month • Evening 6:30-8PM

Pricing & Registration

We understand that walking into a support space can feel intimidating. For that reason, we want families to experience the environment first.

First Session Experience:
The first session is offered at no cost for both teens and parents, guardians, or loved ones. This allows participants to experience the space, meet the facilitator, and determine if the circle feels like the right fit.

To protect the group environment, the no-cost first session applies once per participant.

Teen Support Circle (Ages 13–18)

$25 per session (after first session)

2-hour facilitated sessions • 1st & 3rd Fridays • 4:30–6:30 PM

Parent/Guardian Support Circle

Donation-based (or $10)

Monthly • 2nd Tuesday • Evening 6:30-8PM

No one is turned away from the parent/guardian circle due to cost. Families are welcome to contribute what they can.

Registration is required for all sessions to maintain a private, safe group environment.

Important: These circles are support-based and are not therapy or crisis intervention. If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent help, call 911 or dial/text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).

FAQ

Is this therapy?

No. These circles are support-based and educational. They are not therapy, counseling, or clinical treatment.

Is this a private group?

Yes. Registration is required. We keep the group private to protect safety, comfort, and consistency.

What ages can attend the teen circle?

The Teen Support Circle is for ages 13–18 only.

When does the teen circle meet?

Teens meet on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month from 4:30–6:30 PM (2 hours).

When does the parent/guardian support circle meet?

Parents, guardians, and loved ones meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month during an evening session from 6:30-8PM.

Will bullying or disrespect be allowed?

No. We maintain a safe space for everyone. Bullying, harassment, threats, hate speech, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

Is it confidential?

We respect privacy. However, confidentiality has limits. If someone is unsafe or in danger, we must act to protect safety.

What if my teen is really struggling — can they still attend?

Yes. Needing help does not exclude a teen from support. Many teens come because they feel overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, or emotionally worn down. This is a support space — and if someone needs urgent or higher-level care, we will work with the family to connect them to the right resources.

What happens if a teen shares they are unsafe?

Safety comes first. We will pause and follow our safety protocol, which may include a private check-in, contacting a parent or guardian, and connecting to appropriate emergency or crisis resources.
