Responsive Circles
​​Responsive circles are especially effective with gender-specific groups of students and with students/individuals who have similar and/or recurring issues. Responsive circle costs operate on a sliding scale depending upon organizational or individual budget.
​
Responsive circles provide an opportunity for a group of people to 1) meet on a regular basis, 2) give voice to their feelings and concerns, 3) sort through their experiences and learn how to support each other, problem-solve together, and find ways to contribute positively to their schools, organizations, and communities. Circles are held weekly for a minimum of four weeks.

Community Dialogue Circles
Restorative Response Baltimore conducts dialogue circles and trains in their facilitation as well.

Restorative Response Baltimore trains in the facilitation of and conducts community dialogue circles. Building space for community connections is often the forgotten element when addressing conflict. Circles are often only held responsively in reaction to conflict. Yet, when a place for community building, such as community dialogue circles, exists proactively, connections and structures are in place to make resolution of conflicts easier. Restorative Response Baltimore has been providing space for and training in the facilitation of community dialogue circles in Baltimore schools and neighborhoods for over 15 years. These circles are a designated place to build connections with each other and also to address concerns in a positive way. Restorative Response, if requested, provides an invested facilitator to facilitate community dialogue circles. Please contact us to arrange.
