GIRLS CIRLCES
Oasis utilizes the Girls Circle model, a research-based, nationally utilized, structured support group for girls that integrates relational theory, resiliency practices, and skills training in a specific format designed to increase positive connection, personal and collective strengths, and competence in girls. Girls Circle aims to counteract social and interpersonal forces that impede girls' growth and development by promoting an emotionally safe setting and structure within which girls can develop caring relationships and use authentic voices.

The Girls Circle encourages girls to share experiences that are helpful to one another. To participate, girls need only have the desire, make a commitment to attend the meetings, and agree to follow the circle guidelines, i.e. respect, no put-downs or interruptions, offer experiences - not advice, keep the focus on oneself, and keep what's said in the group private. Girls are free to share at their own pace.

We are facilitating (or have facilitated) Girls Circles at Buck Lake Elementary , Boys & Girls Club, Capitol City Youth Services, Godby High School, Ghazvinni Learning Center, Life Skills, HOPE Community, Rickards High School, Leon High School, Fairview Middle School, Nims Middle School, Cornerstone Learning Community, Palmer Monroe Teen Center, Griffin Middle School, and Girls Can Do Anything Summer Camps.   The circles are funded several different ways - thanks to a grant from the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Community Human Service Partnership (Leon County & the City of Tallahassee), private donations and by parents and schools.

    MOTHER-DAUGHTER CIRCLES (for Mothers and their middle school aged daughters).
    "Getting to the heart of the matter!" At the very heart of girls’ development is the mother-daughter relationship, in all of its dimensions – strengths, challenges, longings, disappointments, comforts, and dreams. No relationship seems to compare to the mother-daughter connection in its significance to a girls’ sense of value, identity, and assurance. The purpose of the circle is to promote a healthy and sustaining bond between mothers and daughters during the transitional years from girlhood to young womanhood.
    Each Circle can only accommodate 6-8 pairs of mothers & daughters.
    Please call or email for more information!
