Winners’/Inner Circles

The Winners’ and Inners’ Circles are peer-led support groups that address the unique needs of people who are in recovery from substance use disorders and justice involvement. 

They offer safe, positive, non-judgmental spaces for participants to learn and practice life and community skills, develop healthy lifestyles, and share support, encouragement, and success with others at similar places in their lives.

Winners’ Circles meet in communities across Illinois—in person and virtually.

Inner Circles meet inside select Illinois prisons or other restricted facilities.

TASC provides guidance for the development of these Circles by facilitating their formation, providing training for Circle leaders, and working with community partners to establish locations for Circle meetings.
