Designed to extend the core work of the Cancer Help Program, it seeks to bring the deep experiences of healing to people who want to create a healing circle in their living room, church or any other setting.

We now have new centers in Langley on Whidbey Island, Washington, and in Houston, Texas. Our three Bay Area CCHP alumni groups are our laboratories for Healing Circles work in the Bay Area.

The Humane team believes that the right to receive compassionate end-of-life care is a basic human rightone that should be extended to everyone, even some of the most wounded and troubled in our society. Humane strives for a world where all incarcerated people are treated with dignity and respect. Their model benefits not only the dying, but their fellow prisoners who provide the care, and the prison correctional staff as well, as they witness how transformative it can be for prisoners to learn to care for their dying brothers. The curriculum theyve developed trains prisoners as hospice volunteers in end-of-life care and grief support, and in other modes of crisis intervention that prepares them to support their peers who are suffering from depression, suicidal ideation, or the effects of trauma and violence often experienced behind bars. The outcome is a therapeutic community within prison walls that results in a cultural shift toward compassion, care, empathy and support that sets the foundation for restorative justice practices. The prison environment becomes a place for rehabilitation and support rather than punishment and conflict. Lisa Deal serves as director.
