Cult Intervention and Recovery Services

Our Mission is to provide HOPE for those affected by coercion.

Hope is what keeps us moving against problems that often feel too big for any one person.

Help for survivors

Did you experience harm in a cultic group or relationship?

People Leave Cults offers psychoeducation, resources, and opportunities for community with other survivors.

Explore our services and resources tailored to support individuals on their journey to recovery from cultic groups or relationships. Our specialized resources address the psychological, emotional, and social aspects of cult experience.

Cult Recovery

Help for loved ones

Know someone affected by coercion or who is in a suspected cultic group or relationship?

Let's develop a roadmap together. People Leave Cults works alongside a specialized multi-disciplinary team of experts which have included therapists, mediators, psychiatrists, and legal experts as needed. Each case we receive is unique and the path forward is highly customized.

Our harm reduction approach to family mediation prioritizes improving communication, rather than focusing on a "tough love" stance with a loved one involved in a group. People Leave Cults adheres to Ethical Standards for Thought Reform Consultants.

Cult Intervention

Professional Support

Are you a professional supporting someone who has left a cultic group or relationship as a therapist or coach?

People Leave Cults offers education for helpers, resources for their clients, and professional peer support. We want to equip you with knowledge and tools necessary to effectively guide individuals through their healing journey.

With a variety of training materials, workshops, and collaboration with a community of like-minded professionals, you can enhance your skills and confidence in addressing the complex challenges faced by those recovering from these experiences.
