supporting people for safer communities

WHAT IS SHIFT?

We are a prevention program

Led by the Government of British Columbia, Shift is focused on providing support to individuals that are vulnerable to the process of radicalization to violence.

Shift also helps strengthen local responses through training, capacity building, and cross-sector collaboration, and by connecting individuals and communities to the appropriate resources and services. Our approach focuses on prevention, early intervention, and supporting the people and organizations best positioned to make a difference in their communities.

 

Our approach

Shift recognizes that individuals vulnerable to radicalization to violence do not have one single profile, or are limited to a single group, social class, religion, culture, ethnicity, gender identity, age group or worldview. The Shift program is intended for individuals engaging with any manifestation of violent extremism and is not focused on or targeting one specific group, demographic, or ideology.
