    GPS Circles of Connection Pilot Participant
  • “The men in our group feel a camaraderie and trust. They feel protected to share their feelings. Instead of focusing on everything that’s going wrong in their lives, they focus on themselves, their own feelings and what they can do for themselves. It’s like their defensiveness melts and they can just be themselves.”
