Rehabilitation and reintegration

We enhance, design and develop rehabilitation and reintegration strategies for former terrorists and returning violent extremists and their family members.

Rehabilitation and reintegration play a crucial role in countering extremism and violent extremism. Hedayah works with partners to develop rehabilitation and reintegration strategies for individuals affected by violent extremism, including violent extremist offenders, foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs), families of FTFs, radicalized youth, and terrorism-affected families and children.

Building on our comprehensive suite of toolkits, research, and guidance, such as the ‘Blueprint of a Rehabilitation and Reintegration Center’, the ‘Identifying Needs and Strengths’ Practitioner Manual and ‘Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Minors Toolkit’, Hedayah supports the development of locally appropriate and holistic approaches to rehabilitation and reintegration.

Hedayah works in partnership with Governments, practitioners, civil society and with communities to facilitate effective rehabilitation and reintegration.

We collaborate closely with communities to address the stigma and rejection that returnees may encounter as this is essential to the success of rehabilitation efforts, as it fosters an environment conducive to personal change and societal acceptance.

We believe that, with the right support, some reintegrated individuals can emerge as positive role models, using their experiences and messages to prevent future radicalization and recruitment within their communities.

Hedayah continues to learn from the experiences and narratives of former fighters to refine its existing and future CEVE-related initiatives. This ongoing process helps us ensure that our programs remain relevant, effective, and responsive to the evolving challenges of countering extremism and violent extremism.
