New TRIAD “Circles of Friends” Program Promotes Connections.

Naperville & Lisle Townships TRIAD and the Naperville Senior Task Force are organizing new Circles of Friends starting this season to support healthy connections with friends and community.

Each group in the Circles of Friends program will allow eight to 10 members to meet virtually once a week, on a day of their choosing, with a facilitator to manage the connection. These groups will help participants make new friends, share stories, brag about their families, pray together, share information, play games and discuss common hobbies. Each meeting will last roughly an hour, and groups will be organized by neighborhood or shared interests.

TRIAD and the Naperville Senior Task Force encourage seniors to consider joining one of these new Circles of Friends until it is safe to meet in person. Maintaining connections to friends and community is vital to personal well-being, especially during this challenging time. Joining one of these Circles of Friends is one new and creative way to support one another to be “Stronger Together.”
