02 / Field guides

A little clarity goes a long way.

Short, practical reading for the questions that come before the big decisions. Start anywhere. Take what is useful.

Finding support

Questions that help you assess experience, professional credentials, practical fit, and respect for your choices.

For friends and family

Keep communication open, offer specific help, and support the person's ability to make their own decisions.

Digital privacy

Understand what browsing protections can and cannot do, and choose safer ways to contact support.

Understanding your options

Different kinds of support serve different purposes. Compare the role, boundaries, and credentials behind each listing.

Making sense of your results

Use your answers to identify questions and concrete concerns. A score cannot determine whether a group is a cult or whether you are safe.
