This 12-session Unity Circle® guide helps youth understand that there are many ways to be unique—unique ways of exploring, communicating, and healing. It begins by building group safety, shared agreements, and a foundation for understanding mental health and personal capacities. The middle sessions explore a range of capacities through practical, youth-centered activities that support emotional well-being. The final sessions bring everything together through reflection and integration, helping youth apply their strengths to support ongoing mental health and personal growth.

Printed vs. Digital Activity Guides
Unsure which format is right for you? Our physical activity guides come in a durable 3-ring binder with a full-color cover and spine entrapped in plastic. The material within is printed on standard 8 ½” x 11” pages, which are 3-hole-punched and can be removed for duplicating handouts and forms or facilitator preparation and returned in place. Our digital flipbook activity guides are formatted for screen viewing and take advantage of this medium by employing a lot of color and interactive elements, such as embedded videos, web links, and navigation options for quickly jumping to different areas of the guide. Deciding which is right for you depends on which of these experiences you would find most comfortable as a facilitator.
