What this service offers

ICSA brings together survivors, relatives, researchers, and service providers interested in cultic influence and psychological abuse. Its website offers a searchable publication library, information for families and former members, and a directory of outside providers. Conferences and other educational activities offer additional ways to learn and connect. Directory inclusion should be assessed separately from a provider's qualifications or suitability.
