CONFERENCES
2025 HEALTHY TEEN NETWORK CONFERENCE
One Circle Foundation was proudly represented at the Healthy Teen Network Conference in Atlanta, GA, by Director of Curricula, Shayla Benson, and Director of Training, Victoria Mahand. They led the workshop, “We Are All Connected: The Power of Authenticity, Belonging, and Respect Through Circles,” engaging participants in a 75-minute interactive session designed to foster authentic connections and inclusive environments for youth using our Circle models. Shayla reflected, “I had the chance to connect with both new and
seasoned educators who share a deep commitment to sexuality education and youth development. The sessions I attended reinvigorated my work as a curriculum writer and reminded me why being a sexuality educator will always be at the heart of what I do.” Our workshop received overwhelmingly positive feedback, and our presence at the Healthy Teen Network Conference highlighted how transformative a Circle experience can be by creating spaces for meaningful dialogue, authentic connection, and relationship-building for both adults and youth.
DURING 2025, OUR TEAM PROUDLY REPRESENTED OCF AT:
• American School Counselors Association (Long Beach, CA) • Child & Adolescent Mental Health Conference (Duluth, MN) • National Conference on School Leadership (Seattle, WA) • National Association of Social Workers Conference (Chicago, IL) • Healthy Teen Network Conference (Atlanta, GA) These events created opportunities to engage with policymakers and youth- serving professionals, expanding awareness of One Circle Foundation’s programs and mission.
