What this service offers

Founded by sociologist Janja Lalich, the Lalich Center develops learning resources about cult involvement and coercive relationships. Its offerings include a public knowledge bank, rotating recovery courses and workshops, and continuing education for mental health professionals. Current programs should be checked on the official site. Its clinician course is education and does not by itself create a professional qualification or authorization to practice therapy.
