Young people
Kids who got labeled before anybody asked what happened to them. We walk into juvenile halls, camps, and youth facilities across Los Angeles County, and we talk to them like the men we needed when we were where they are.
Services
Restorative and healing circles.
Restorative and healing circles for young people inside, adults coming home, and the families holding everything together.
Who Sits in the Circle
Three rooms. One conversation.
Adults coming home
Coming home is not the finish line. It is the hardest part. We work with people rebuilding a life, a family, and a sense of who they are now.
Parents and families
You have been strong for everybody else. This circle is for you. For the guilt, the anger, the shame nobody warned you about, and the hope you are afraid to say out loud.
How It Works
A circle has no head of the table.
That is the whole idea.
Everybody sits at the same height. Everybody gets the floor. Nobody gets talked down to, diagnosed, or handed a pamphlet. One person speaks, everyone else listens, and it goes around until the room says what it came to say.
We do not do therapy. We are not counselors and we will never pretend to be. What we do is older and simpler than that. We create a room where people can finally tell the truth, and then we stay in it with them.
Some circles heal a family. Some help a young person hear their own voice for the first time. Some are just a room where nobody is judging anybody for one hour.
All of it counts.
