Calm Mediation is proud to announce a new partnership with Protection Approaches, a charity working to change how we understand and respond to identity-based violence. This collaboration will focus on delivering a series of interactive workshops to improve our understanding of the needs of those affected by hate and violence, which is often rooted in prejudice and discrimination.
About Protection Approaches
Protection Approaches is committed to changing how society understands and responds to identity-based violence. Through community-led initiatives, cutting-edge research, and policy advocacy, they tackle the root causes of hate, division, and discrimination. Their work includes providing comprehensive hate crime training, developing community-based support programs, and advocating for preventative solutions.
A key element of their approach is building the capacity of grassroots organisations to support their communities by co-creating support, resources and prevention strategies. Over the last five years, they’ve also trained thousands of individuals in Hate Crime Awareness and Active Bystandership, helping participants to identify, report, and respond to hate crimes effectively.
A Partnership for Change
The collaboration brings together expert voices and resources to create a series of four training workshops that focus on improving services for victims of hate crimes. By combining our expertise in Restorative Justice, the specialist knowledge of the root causes of hate crime, and supporting victims, we aim to facilitate and participate in a transformative learning experience.
These workshops will ensure that service providers are equipped with the tools and insights needed to better support those affected by hate crime by listening to the communities we serve and ensuring they are at the forefront of shaping the services they want to receive.
Together we can build safer, more resilient communities.
