www.circleprogram.org

The mission of the Circle Program is to provide socially and economically disadvantaged New Hampshire girls with the skills, courage and confidence they need to handle the challenges in their lives. The two-year program does this by providing the girls with a unique combination of adult and peer support delivered through two summers of residential camp and two full years of one-on-one mentoring with women volunteers. Mentoring takes place at least twice a month. Every other month, all of the girls and mentors get together for a group activity such as a field trip or a community service project. The group activities keep the girls connected to their peers and the program while they are building healthy, positive relationships with their mentors. After the two years are up, girls can stay connected to their mentors and peers through a Graduate Program. Girls are referred to the Circle Program by teachers, guidance counselors, social workers, and parents. The general guideline is that the girls who are referred are free or reduced
lunch eligible, between the ages of 9 and 12, and from the Concord, Laconia, Plymouth, and Lebanon areas.

The Teen Health Clinic seeks to provide comprehensive primary health care, psychological support services, and health promotion programming for teens, particularly those who do not have access to other health services. The Teen Health Clinic provides services that are adapted to meet the needs of teens in safe, non-judgmental and inclusive atmosphere.

The Teen Health Clinic provides primary care to adolescents including confidential reproductive health services in accordance with state and federal law. Also, clients have access to preventive care, treatment of acute and ongoing conditions, and health promotions. This includes birth control, reproductive health care, counseling and education including counseling on abstinence, general check-ups, immunizations, nutritional counseling, vision and hearing screening, and illness care.

Parental consent is required for minors who are receiving primary care services. Although parental involvement is encouraged, parental consent is not required for family planning services. These services target medically under-served adolescents (ages 11 – 21) from Manchester with an emphasis on developing teen’s self sufficiency skills particularly when there is no or minimal parent participation.
