CIRCLE BUILD
08/04/2017
CIRCLEBUILD staff from ESPS Sherrie Tilghman and Suzette Turner learn how to enhance their teamwork skills with the horses. Bridges at Worthmore will be providing EAP services for CIRCLEBUILD a program that supports Kent County youth and families of incarcerated parents. Funding for CIRCLEBUILD is provided by the Governor’s Office for Children in partnership with Family and Community Partnerships of Kent County, Eastern Shore Psychological Services, LLC, Compass Regional Hospice, Sassafras Environmental Education Center, Worthmore Equestrian Center. We believe families impacted by incarceration deserve respect. Children and youth with a parent in jail have strengths, needs, and abilities that should be nurtured and supported.
