Extremism Hurts Families

Welcome to the parent's video page, here we have several videos which have been designed and delivered by a parent who has had a loved one involved in the Extreme Right-Wing (ERW).

To assist professionals in supporting parents and provide much-needed support to families themselves, Small Steps has created a number of resources from a lived experience perspective that will help families better understand how a loved one can become involved in extremism, the impact on families and much more.  

​

Entitled - Family Matters, this set of videos are in animation and is narrated by Sarah,

a mom who has had a son involved in ERW extremism.

 To develop people's understanding, these videos can be viewed on their own to aid people's education on the ERW and how it recruits or people can watch them in a small group and then have a discussion about what people think and how families can be supported.

​

Supporting families, in 2016 Small Steps helped establish the Exit Hate Trust charity (1197666).

Dedicated to helping people impacted directly by extremism, Exit's focus is to help individuals leave and families cope with the heartache and trauma of having a loved one involved with extremism.
