Introduction to Exit Family Support

Exit Family Support is a programme that was established by Exit Hate especially for family members, friends, and loved ones who have been affected by the involvement of someone close to them in extremism.

Regardless of whether their involvement is online or in person, or whether they belong to a far-right group or simply hold Extreme Right Wing (ERW) views and ideologies.

The Exit Family Support Programme offers guidance, advice and support.

We aim to educate, empower and offer the tools that are needed, so those that are using our service are best equipped to help their loved one to move away from their beliefs and ideologies, and help people to re-establish relationships, so you can help those involved back into society safely.

Recognising that every individual has unique needs and preferences for support and engagement, this service offers various ways for people to access and interact with us.

Online support programme. - This programme can be found on our website at www.exithate.com/onlinesupportprogramme  Users are required to sign up as a site member, so we have an idea of the numbers of people using this service.

Here you will find set modules that cover many aspects of radicalisation, extremism and involvement.

This programme allows people to get advice, guidance and support without having to book appointments and they can work through the programme at their own pace and in their own time.

If you need help at any time, you can email us and a member of the team will get back to you in 48 hours and will offer you support and assistance.

One to One Support - This consists of an assessment call to see what support will be required and then If eligible, you will be allocated a support officer who will then have a number of 121 meetings with you where they will listen, offer non-directional support, lived experience guidance, and signpost you to other support links where possible.

These meetings can be carried out on-line or via a phone. Whatever way you are the most comfortable with.

Additionally, people can also get support from looking at our main website at: www.exithate.com,  following our Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/exithatetrust or if you prefer support via email you can get in touch with us at: info@exithate.org
