Our mission is to form a circle of practitioners in the various helping professions for the purpose of sharing and cross-pollination of practical knowledge about working with at-risk children and teens.

Together, the articles in Issue 1 of The New Circle set the pace and build a foundation for the forum we intend to provide in future issues, presenting a collection of articles and ideas that help us think about the work we do and how we can ensure that we continue to provide such important services to children and adolescents who are at risk for a variety of difficulties.
