The Circle Model provides a non-hostile environment where participants are treated with respect encouraging them to reduce the harm of infection and encourage changes for a healthier lifestyle.

With many having had bad experiences with the healthcare system, we offer support without forcing one down a specific path. There is no judgment of lifestyle and participants are given tools to provide options in an effort to reduce the harm. In addition to addressing the medical concerns, we provide guidance for participants who face stigma and other non-medical challenges.

We provide insight and direction into providing options and developing effective ways to engage participants in their own care and treatment. Our goal is to empower them to be able to be active in developing a long term plan and take control of their overall health.
