The Therapeutic Intervention for Peace (TIP) programme is led by youth organisation Power the Fight and funded by the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU). 

The therapeutic support is delivered through one-to-one mentoring and specifically-designed therapy sessions for 140 young people in two schools and one alternative provision.

An evaluation of the project, which has been funded by the VRU since August 2021 finds that it “has supported hundreds of young people, teachers and families in tackling exclusions and improving engagement and attendance at schools in south London”.

Power the Fight’s programme also worked with teachers and staff, and provided support and guidance for parents and carers.
