In 2021, the United Nations Special Rapporteur issued a warning about the accelerating interaction between family regulation and counter-terrorism. Balancing national security and its clinical implications on family members while protecting children from harm is a difficult and timely task. At present, the impact of parental ideology, extremists beliefs, and engagement in violence on children is an under-researched area. Practitioners from various countries and sectors have raised concerns about the protection of children from both minority and majority groups. Minority families face profiling and stigma that disrupt family units and the child's environment, while majority families normalizing extremist beliefs expose children to psychological abuse and a culture of hate and violence, leading to alienation from society and deepening societal fractures. This event brings together experts and institutions in health and child protection to address the challenges and oversights related to interventions for children raised in extremist families.
