Therapeutic Intervention for Peace Programme (TIP)
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
The TIP programme responds to challenges faced by young people and communities by providing culturally sensitive therapeutic interventions.
We are raising money to expand our Therapeutic Intervention for Peace (TIP) Programme, this is a codeveloped and culturally sensitive conduit model of partnership work which aims to reduce interpersonal youth violence through preventative, holistic and whole systems change. The model was first devised in response to the recommendations of the 2020 TIP Research Report, which documented the experiences and realities of young people, families and practitioners, impacted by interpersonal violence between young people .
Research has long identified poor mental health and trauma as a key risk factor for interpersonal youth violence. However educational institutions, along with mental health and youth services, consistently report that they are ill-equipped or under-resourced to meet the complex and intersectional needs of extreme or multiply marginalised groups. Developing an applied ‘whole systems’ or ‘ecological’ approach to violence reduction, the TIP model delivers a multi-level intervention, recognising that individuals exist in complex environments, shaped by institutional and social systems. The TIP intervention aims to impact change at three distinct levels; individual, social and structural using a variety of adaptive and responsive methods.
TIP works directly with young people but also provides training and support for teachers, school staff and parents and is typically evaluated by the 4 key aims below:
1) Increase wellbeing and improve mental health amongst young people.
2) Support system and cultural change in educational settings, increasing cultural sensitivity among staff and institutional practices.
3) Act as a conduit for external agencies, services and resources for schools and their communities.
4) Provide support and reflective spaces for parents/carers.
