About our mission
Our mission is to foster generations of young people who understand stalking, the potential risks of stalking, and what they can do about it.
We focus on the long term.
We achieve this by
- Educating today’s young people about stalking.
- Upskilling professionals working with young people.
- Developing intervention programmes to prevent young people becoming stalkers.
Our primary focus is to educate young people about stalking. We do this through school assemblies and PSHE lessons that explain about healthy and unhealthy relationships, how to recognise and respond to unwanted attention, how to help a friend, and how to manage one’s own negative behaviour.
We also upskill professionals in contact with young people to help them recognise and respond appropriately to stalking.
Added to this, we are actively involved in the development and delivery of programmes to prevent young people becoming stalkers in the first place, such as the EASI (Early Awareness Stalking Intervention) Project.
Beyond this core work, we deliver a range of services aimed at professionals who work, or might come into contact, with stalking victims or perpetrators, including training for criminal justice and social and healthcare professionals. We also provide information and advice for stalking victims and potential perpetrators, although we not offer advocacy.
Finally, we support academic research and run annual conferences that bring together practitioners and academics to promote dialogue and cooperation, and thereby to improve outcomes for stalking victims and perpetrators.
