Circles of Light is a participating member of
this international center which offers peer support services.
Provided by trained facilitators, the process supports individual
exploration of new ways of viewing lifes challenges and
to find peace of mind even in the most difficult situations. Started
by Dr. Jerry Jampolsky in 1975, the approach is based on the understanding
that people and conditions outside do not cause upset; rather
ones thoughts, feelings, and attitudes about them. Children
and adults equally derive benefits from the process.

Circles of Light contracts this small, local
organization to provide ongoing series of sessions geared for
children who have issues with domestic violence and/or parents
who are or have been incarcerated. On Solid Ground
is a cognitive-based skills curriculum used among various other
materials, to promote self-esteem, communications skills, and
empower youth to take a leadership role in future sessions.

Circles of Light implements art projects designed
by this nonprofit in ongoing classes. Trained facilitators utilize
specific activities to build awareness of issues which surround
domestic violence. Images created have helped battered women and
children gain a sense of renewal and power; images of hope, survival,
and strength educate the public and become "a window between
worlds" for survivors taking steps to change their lives.
