Mandated Cases

In 2025, Life After Hate’s Exit program made a bold move by incorporating court-mandated participants into its programming. Our model brings together our multidisciplinary team of Exit Specialists and case managers, as well as court officials, mental health professionals, and often, family members. Together, we work to combat hate-fueled violence by:

  • Addressing risk factors and strengthening protective factors for individuals, families, and loved ones.
  • Supporting our efforts that provide immediate assistance, resources, and pathways to social support within the community.
  • Promote collaboration between agencies, organizations, and community members to ensure a coordinated, community-centered response.

We believe that violence intervention requires both proactive strategies and responsive support. Whether through diversion programs for adults, youth, or long-term support through our prison inreach, our goal is to strengthen partnerships within the justice system as we address the growing threat of violence in our nation

WHO WE ARE

Ending violence through compassion.

Life After Hate is a leader in the violence intervention community. We are the first nonprofit in the U.S. dedicated to helping individuals disengage from hate-fueled groups and hateful online spaces. Since its founding in 2011, Life After Hate has expanded its programming to include family members of individuals who are involved with the hate-fueled groups or are disengaging.

ABOUT OUR PROCESS

How we’re changing lives

A central part of our mission is our innovative approach to interventions. Our multidisciplinary team model combines formers and case managers to help individuals identify what they need to leave hate and violence and set and manage their goals to restore their lives.

OUR MISSION

Why it
matters

Our individualized programming combatting hate fueled violence helps establish a safer and more resilient nation. Individuals who do not disengage from hate groups or hateful online spaces are more likely to commit acts of violence. They are also likely to contribute to a toxic online environment that encourages others to violence.

THIS WORK IS LABOR INTENSIVE

The need has never been greater.

In a recent three-month period, we had a 22% increase in requests for programming. This work is labor-intensive, and our participants often benefit from between 12 – 18 months of programming.

our values

COMPASSION

As a community founded by formers, we care deeply for those seeking a pathway out of hate-fueled violence. Our past experiences, rehumanization and growth help us understand and mentor those who are still navigating the path to wholeness. Compassion is the basis for promoting individual and societal prosperity without violence.

EMPATHY

We listen with open minds and hearts to the journeys and experiences of others because we are committed to creating an environment that supports change and healing. While we never condone hurtful actions, we also do not condemn the human being.

INTEGRITY

By way of ethical standards, responsible leadership, and continuous internal accountability audits, we endeavor to do the right thing on behalf of ourselves as individuals, the communities we serve, and all stakeholders.

REDEMPTION

Those who take responsibility for their journey create the possibility for redemption. We inspire and sustain individual change by forgiving and empowering. The greatest challenge is in opening the door to a new life, and we are committed to supporting honest efforts of individuals to renew their lives.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Accountability is the pathway to redemption. It transcends punishment, and exists independent of forgiveness. It empowers us to move beyond the grief of knowing how our past choices inform current events. It is the lifelong commitment to action that adds good to the world; and to calling out inaction and refusing to turn a blind eye to the pain of our fellow human beings.
