Khulisa UK delivers unique and powerful behaviour-change intervention programmes addressing all aspects of the crime cycle and fostering personal and community regeneration. Our work is drawn from a 14 year track record of being at the forefront of restorative justice, violence-reduction and youth diversion projects in South Africa. Khulisa also delivers unique, hard-hitting and creative corporate and community training.
Specifically addressing crime prevention and violence-reduction is our flagship Silence the Violence programme, and its youth version, Face It. Through the use of creative and experiential therapeutic techniques, at-risk individuals and those affected by violence (perpetrators, victims and others) are enabled to gain insight and vision while (re)developing self-respect, self control and dignity. These are core values often lost or ‘masked’ by violence, a fear of violence or exposure to violent environments, gangs or conflict.
We work on the theory that violence is learned behaviour and can therefore be un-learned. Increased self-awareness creates insight into personal violence triggers and managing violent behaviour. This learning radically reduces the chances of re-offending. Our programmes also promote crime-aversion and an understanding of the impact of violence and crime on victims, families (own and others) and communities. The possibilities of healing, forgiveness, restoration and rehabilitation are magnified and made real, creating a safer and more just society.
Khulisa UK partners with strategic organisations to sustain positive change and build community cohesion, maximising the efficacy of our, and our partners’, programmes and promoting our core beliefs
