My relationship circle

Instructions for completing the relationship circle

By completing your relationship circle, you will examine who is already in your life, that can help support your housing and support vision.

Relationships are important to all of us. We all have different people in our lives, who play a variety of roles and provide us with unique things. For example, we might have friends who like music and who we connect with to attend concerts with us. We might have friends who like sports, who we invite to go to the local pub and watch a game. Or, we may have friends who know a lot about something we want to learn more about; for example, cooking. We may get together to make food, enjoying each other’s company while learning a new skill and enjoying the delicious meals we create together.

This can help you identify who you have in your life and how they are connected to you (e.g. family members, friends, paid supports, etc.). It can help you determine areas where you may wish to build new connections (e.g. make new friends and acquaintances, or increase community supports). The relationship circle can assist you to highlight people you may wish to invite to participate in the process of creating a housing and support plan; as well as those who may be able to play a role in your support.

When completing your relationship circle, you are in the black circle in the center and those who you have a close relationship with would be placed in the blue ring. People who you are not as close with, would be placed in the green ring. You can use the whole page, placing those you are not as closely attached to around the outside of the circles.
