EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING
Although cults and other forms of undue influence affect hundreds of thousands of Americans at any given time, resources are extremely limited for those exiting destructive environments. The cult specialists at Freedom of Mind Resource Center provide critical help for those in need.
Exit Guidance – acute, intensive care with people who understand cults and the damage they cause
Professional Training – increasing the stock of mental health professionals and first responders across the nation who can help identify and assist people being exploited
Education – understanding cult tactics makes people less vulnerable to recruitment
It’s your mind, only you should control it!
