Circles of Support and Accountability

support-groups

Restorative justice circle program that helps sexual offenders reintegrate into to the community. A circle is composed of a “core member”, who is typically assessed as a ‘high-risk’ released sex offender, and three to five trained community members. The circle meets regularly and a range of topics and activities are covered in the circle, with the focus being on keeping the offender accountable and providing support for both their basic and emotional needs.
