Thank you for all your support! Its been a blessing knowing someone out there cares about your well being.
Their ability to help survivors recover from trauma caused by cults, helping educate those who may be vulnerable to these types of societal perps, and saving lives, has always been top notch. I would highly recommend working with them if you are trapped or helping someone to get out of any cult.
I cannot recommend this nonprofit. They have published statements from me that I specifically told them they did not have permission to do. Tibor Stern has one goal, to take down Naropa. A little while ago, I noticed he was using this nonprofit to sell diamonds, which is his profession. I’m not sure this is even legal. I found this org to be unprofessional and bullying to survivors, tbh. There are many more trustworthy and reliable support systems in place for survivors of cults and their families. Do yourselves a favor and use one of those. This org is not a safe place for survivors.
Working with such a caring and professional group is so rewarding. Being able to help others in need is a blessing. Thank you for all you do!
This non-profit is amazing and probably the only one in existence that works in all areas of the cult phenomena, from helping victims and families, to exposing destructive groups, to educating the public for their own safety and well-being. It's a small 501c3 org with a very big heart! This problem is only getting worse as you can see on an almost daily basis in the media approaching epidemic levels in society. I have learned a great deal from this organization and continue to follow and support them in their mission. Keep up the great work ya'll! -- Roger Talbot
Families Against Cult Teachings is a trustworthy and selfless nonprofit dedicated to helping victims of cult abuse and their loved ones. Their team provides education, support and advocacy for people who have been exploited and preyed upon by the cruel manipulation inherent in cult tactics.
F.A.C.T has given compassionate assistance to thousands of children and adults who need help in breaking away from the lethal web of cults that imprison the spirit and soul by using techniques like brainwashing and mind control. Their advocates are trained in the nuances and difficulties that arise when one is trying to break away from a cult's rigid belief system.
This is the "go-to" organization when one needs help in freeing oneself or a family member from the morass of quicksand that prevents many cult members from ever breaking free. F.A.C.T knows the life-threatening dangers that are inherent in the grooming and eventual destruction of critical thinking, which is the goal of every cult. I am grateful to them for the lives they save, for their strength of resolve and the transparency by which they operate.
100 Percent of all donations received are spent on the cause of the organization due to the fact that I donate in-kind for all the operational expenses.
This organization is saving thousands of abused and exploited adults and children's lives through their preventive educational and mental health support to victims and uniting families. I'm giving them a full 5 stars for their limitless devotion for the cause and their transparency.

Families Against Cult Teachings has been using my name in their advertisements without my consent. When I reached out and requested that they stop doing so is this is extremely illegal they have ignored my repeated messages, let me comments they immediately deleted, and otherwise have not been honest, helpful, and supportive.
It is a major letdown to see an organization of this type demonstrate this complete lack of ethics and I am afraid I will need to get legal help to stop them from using my name and breaking the law.

As a survivor when I was looking for support and also a place to land with regards to my advocacy, FACT was there with open arms. Their mission is extremely important and their work is saving lives! I am very grateful to have found FACT and affiliated myself with such a pure hearted, caring group of people who are passionate about their work! Thank you for all you are doing FACT! J.A.
