In Finland, substantial initiatives have been in place for years aimed at preventing radicalization among individuals, particularly those vulnerable to extremism. Organizations like the Diaconia Foundation are implementing the Exit model, which assists individuals in disengaging from violent movements and ideologies. This is especially pertinent now, as Syria is in the process of closing the al-Hol and al-Roj camps, raising concerns about the potential return of ISIS fighters' families to Finland.

Reports have highlighted a particular focus on children and young people, who are now being targeted by extremist groups. For instance, Yle reported last November that the youngest individuals suspected of terrorism have been as young as ten. The Exit team has been proactive in addressing these issues, having been asked about the inclusion of minors in their programs. They confirm that there are no age restrictions, indicating their willingness to work with children and families directly, addressing concerns that may arise about children's rights or potential threats to public safety.

The approach taken by the Exit team is comprehensive and aims at engaging worried parents, friends, or the individuals themselves. However, the team's work is conditioned on the emergence of cases that either relate to children's rights or pose a threat to general safety. This multifaceted strategy reflects the complexity of dealing with radicalization while prioritizing the well-being and rights of the individuals involved.
