Parents For Peace (P4P) is a 501(c)3 composed of relatives of extremists, former extremists, survivors and public health experts on extremism. P4P provides programs for early intervention, prevention and de-radicalization for any individual that shows signs of hate or extremism, through youth-resilience and rehabilitation programs, as well as a national, non-governmental helpline. Our mission is to support families, friends, and communities concerned about someone becoming involved with extremism. We provide guidance and early intervention, raise public awareness, and advocate for effective policy solutions.
Parents For Peace is currently recruiting a part-time social worker to assist with our helpline. This position is fully remote. P4P’s unique expertise surrounds our confidential toll-free helpline for families concerned about a loved one slipping into extremism. Driven by a sophisticated intervention protocol developed in conjunction with global experts, P4P’s helpline has helped dozens of people exit extremism – and in the process prevented potential acts of violence. Hundreds of hours assisting diverse families on cases stemming from a wide range of extremist ideologies have enabled P4P to develop unique frontline expertise on the radicalization process. One of our program initiatives, Trauma and Recovery Program (T.R.P.), builds upon that experience to design effective prevention protocols – with the goal of ensuring intervention is not needed in the first place.
