Support Circles

Coming Together, Sharing Together, Working Together, Succeeding Together…

Centerpoint Support Circles are small groups of people who meet regularly to support each other through career and life changes. They do this by sharing resources, and creating a mutual structure for giving continued attention to their individual growth processes.
