Join the 2024 Restorative Health Circle Fellowship in NYC! 🌟🌈

Life can be overwhelming right now, and some of our communities are grappling with issues like drug use and overdoses. We understand firsthand how challenging it is to discuss these issues while remaining connected and supportive.

At Radical Health, we use restorative circle practices to have meaningful conversations, build understanding, and share vital information. We invite you to apply for the 2024 Restorative Health Circle Fellowship if you live, work, or have deep connections in NYC, specifically in the Bronx, East Harlem, or Washington Heights.

  • 💰Paid Opportunity: This fellowship is not only free but comes with a stipend of $600 to ensure accessibility.
