WHO WE ARE
Get to know us
Circle of Care Jamaica was established to offer holistic care and support services to individuals impacted by physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
Our founder, Alicia Bowen-McCulskie, a survivor of abuse, envisioned safe spaces and opportunities for women and girls to access psychosocial support, resources and the care needed to aid their healing process.
