Whats the difference between Council Circle and traditional counseling or “group therapy”?
Council Circle is facilitated by trained adult mentors rather than licensed therapists and is educational and experiential, rather than therapeutic in nature. It is not intended to assess, diagnose or otherwise treat mental illness or take the place of traditional counseling. Because of its simple guidelines and proven format, Council Circle becomes a safe place to receive healthy support, a place to be unconditionally heard and a place to learn healthy tools for communication.
