Uniting Against Violence
Uniting against violence is a podcast about how we can reduce serious youth violence in our communities. It’s made by parents for parents, carers and anyone who wants to understand more and take action.
In this six-part series, we invite a range of guest speakers and parents to look at specific issues related to youth violence – mental health and trauma, conflict, what it’s like for young people, the role of parents and school exclusions. Each episode includes practical advice, insight, stories and information for people looking for support on these issues.
You can find us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube by searching for Uniting Against Violence, and you can email us at unitingagainstviolence@gmail.com.
This podcast was co-produced by Parent Champions from London’s Violence Reduction Unit (Camden and Islington Boroughs), Parent Knife Crime Ambassadors from The Parent House and Crux.
*Some of the issues discussed in the podcast may be triggering, so we encourage you to look after yourself and seek out support if you need it – we all do sometimes.*
This is a huge topic and we couldn’t cover everything and every perspective in 6 episodes, so if you’re thinking we’ve missed something, we encourage you to start more conversations where you are.

Unlocking Conflict
Unlocking Conflict is a podcast all about handling conversations better – in work, at home or in life. We look at the skills that can help us navigate conflict better to reduce stress and build better relationships or get better outcomes. This isn’t just about the big blow outs – it’s about the small things too, like the feedback we want to give, but can’t work out how to say, or the conversation that just never happens. Join our group of mediators, coaches and facilitators to start turning conflict on its head.
A collaboration between Crux, Peacewell and Wandsworth Mediation Service.
