Resource profile / Peer support
An Australian information and support network for former members and people concerned about friends or relatives in high-demand groups.
CIFS brings together former members, families and concerned individuals. It publishes information, provides contact by email and phone, and describes regular support meetings and an annual online workshop for people who have left cultic groups or relationships. Its website says members do not claim professional authority or a sectarian affiliation. Ask directly about the current programme and who facilitates each activity.
These are the audiences described in the public material. Eligibility and personal fit should be discussed with the service directly.
We have not independently verified clinical quality, professional licenses, or suitability. A public-source review is not a recommendation or an endorsement by the service. No payment was received for this listing.
