About Circles

D.I.P. Circles of Support is a robust project that enriches the reentry process. It establishes a softer landing for D.I.P (Directly Impacted People). Establishing a supportive network both before and after a D.I.P is released from the system, enhances the likeliness of having a successful reentry. Our success at BBMI has a proven track record of successful outcomes. This makes both “Circles of Support” and “Support and Leadership Circles” one of the pivot points of the reentry process.
