Community Centred Approach to Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Returnees

Abstract

On September 8, 2022, Mr. Navaid Aziz, an Imam and Director at the Islamic Information Society of Calgary, presented Community Centred Approach to Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Returnees at the 2022 CASIS Vancouver Defence and Security Advisory Network (DSAN). The presentation was followed by a question-and-answer period with questions from the audience. The key points discussed were the holistic approach involving community-based rehabilitation to help returnees reintegrate into society and utilizing a religious-based approach in addressing the role that religion had played in radicalization.
