Power the Fight - Therapeutic Intervention for Peace (TIP)
Abstract
The Therapeutic Intervention for Peace (TIP) Project is a codeveloped and culturally sensitive conduit model of partnership work which aims to reduce interpersonal violence affecting young people through preventative, holistic and whole systems change. Cultural sensitivity/ humility is “a lifelong process of self-reflection, self-critique, and commitment to understand and respect different points of view, and engaging humbly, authentically, and from a place of learning”1. 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. This evaluation report on activities delivered on the TIP programme from September 2022 to August 2023, combines quantitative and qualitative methods to review impact and present recommendations. Grounded in this evidence and learning, the report presents Power the Fight’s Theory of Change; communicating the process through which the project achieves its aims
