Through our research and our tertiary intervention programs, it has become clear that violent antisemitism is a top driver of violent extremism (VE) today. Building on our mission and decade-long track record of helping individuals disengage and deradicalize from VE, we have identified an acute need to address violence as a result of antisemitic ideology, resulting in the establishment of our Center for Exiting Violent Antisemitism.
WHO WE ARE
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 violent far-right hate groups and hateful online spaces. Since its founding in 2011, Life After Hate has expanded its services to include family members of individuals who are involved with the violent far right or are disengaging.
A central part of our mission is our innovative approach to interventions. Our multidisciplinary team model combines formers and mental health practitioners to help individuals identify what they need to leave hate and violence and set and manage their goals to restore their lives.
Our direct-service work combatting violent extremism 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.
