Parents For Peace’s mission is to support families, friends, and communities concerned about someone becoming involved with extremism. We do this by operating a helpline to provide guidance and early intervention, raising public awareness, and advocating for increased oversight in the social media space.
Just some of the pathways to radicalization: dramatic life changing events, consumption of extremist propaganda, rewards of being involved in radical organizations.
If you know someone struggling with extremism, call our helpline: 1-844-49-PEACE #EndExtremism #FamiliesFirst
