Get Help Join the MissionTo create and deliver compassionate, tailored prevention and intervention to counter extremism as a public health issue.
A society where families, communities, and professionals have the tools to recognize early warning signs, respond with care, and interrupt the path toward extremism—before harm occurs.
Parents for Peace was co-founded by Melvin Bledsoe, a father whose son was radicalized and carried out a deadly act of violence. His goal was urgent and simple: no other family should go through what his did.
What began as a grassroots support group has grown into a national helpline and intervention network. Today, our team includes former extremists, family members, clinicians, and public health professionals—working together to prevent radicalization with compassion and expertise.
