This toolkit by Hedayah focuses on the rehabilitation and reintegration of minors formerly associated with violent extremist groups. It presents a holistic, multi-sectoral framework that includes psychosocial support, education, family reunification, and community reintegration. The toolkit offers real-world case studies, practical assessment tools, and guidelines for practitioners working in conflict and post-conflict zones. It emphasizes trauma-informed care, respect for child rights, and local ownership of programs. The content is structured to support governments, NGOs, and practitioners in designing evidence-based interventions tailored to varying cultural and geopolitical contexts.With increasing numbers of minors affected by recruitment into extremist movements—particularly in regions like the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia—this toolkit addresses one of the most urgent needs in post-conflict recovery. It empowers practitioners and local communities to rebuild trust, ensure child protection, and prevent the recycling of radicalization. The document promotes community resilience through education, family dialogue, and localized reintegration frameworks.
