Connecting to each other and communities through Circles of Support is the topic of Helen’s new blog
16 December 2011
This week I have had the powerful experience of facilitating a Circle of Support for Jon, the son of a good friend of mine Emma (who you met in my October blog about family budgets and support plans how-to-develop-whole-family-support-plans). It reminded me of just how important Circles of Support are in creating person centred change - not just for an individual but for the families and people who support them in their community.
It got me thinking - what can we do to ensure more people and communities benefit from them?
I have been facilitating Circles for over 12 years but I always get a little nervous beforehand as each new Circle has a different character. My challenge - as facilitator - was to keep Jon firmly at the centre.
