The Circle of Friends approach

The Circle of Friends approach is a supportive method that involves a person's close friends, family, and trusted individuals working together to understand and address their needs. Instead of relying solely on professionals, this approach emphasizes collaboration among those who are emotionally connected, fostering a safer environment for open communication. It aims to identify strengths, concerns, and goals collectively, empowering the individual while ensuring they have a strong support network. This strategy encourages shared responsibility, respect, and personalized care, ultimately promoting better well-being and resilience through community and understanding.
