Programs at Encircle
Open Monday - Friday, 3-8 pm
At Encircle, we believe that belonging is more than a feeling, it can be a powerful protective factor for mental health, and our programs reflect that. So, what's actually happening when someone walks through Encircle’s doors, joins a Friendship Circle, creates something during Art Night, shares a meal with other guests, or volunteers in their community?
