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-fueled violence and online hate spaces. Since our founding in 2011, Life After Hate has expanded its programming to include family members of individuals who are involved with hate-fueled ideology, hate groups or are disengaging from online hate-fueled spaces. A central part of our mission is our innovative approach to interventions. Using a multidisciplinary team model combining Exit Specialists as credible messengers and nationally certified case managers who hold MSW, we help individuals identify needs and goals to successfully disengage from hate and violence and set and restore their lives. This approach includes a combination of skill building, connections with resources, psycho-educational components, support groups, and outside referrals when necessary. 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 themselves. We practice compassion with accountability. No one wants to be judged by their worst mistakes. Shame will not inspire change. Our approach to addressing underlying risk factors to disarm violence is evidence-based and supported by research.
