Life After Hate

Life After Hate is a leader in the violence intervention community. We are the first organization in the U.S. that counters violence by intervening at the source: Helping individuals exit hate groups and online hate spaces. Since our 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. Using a multidisciplinary team model combining formers and mental health practitioners, we help individuals identify what they need to leave hate and violence and set and manage their goals to restore their lives–this includes a combination of outside referrals, skill building and peer-to-peer interventions. Individuals working to understand their journey in hate and violence often seek the guidance of those who have lived those experiences. Sometimes the best way out is with help from those who have gotten out. Shame will not inspire change. Our approach to addressing underlying risk factors to disarm violence is evidence-based and supported by research.
