The Buddy circle conducted on Procrastination, a subset under the series of sessions tackling anxiety was extremely insightful! It gave me an opportunity to introspect on my everyday activities and thoughts. What was interesting was that there was no judgement whatsoever, instead Buddy circle provided a safe and fun environment to discuss this topic. Overall, I found this session extremely helpful and would highly recommend it to others!

Going through a mental health challenge can make you feel isolated and afraid, among many other things. I remember feeling this way when I was in a difficult place, and that's when I signed up for a buddy circle at HiO. Although I was scared at first, that changed to relief and a sense of hope. The buddy circle reminded me that I'm not completely alone in my journey; help and company is always an arm's reach away :')

Buddy Circle serves exactly what it promises! I remember being a little nervous about my first session, but as you see people open up one by one and you relate with other's struggles, it feels like you're a part of a community, and you can really understand each other. What I liked about the buddy circle was that it always provides us with a learning strategy, something to take back and implement in your everyday life.
