Unlike traditional justice approaches that focus on punishment, cicrles of support prioritizes healing. These conversations allow participants to express their experiences, understand different perspectives, and create meaningful solutions—leading to long-term transformation instead of recurring harm.

Circles of Support also provide an alternative to incarceration for justice-impacted individuals, offering them a chance to make amends and reintegrate into society with dignity. For youth and families, these discussions can repair relationships, improve communication, and break cycles of conflict before they escalate into larger issues.
