ICSA will conduct a conference in Santa Fe,
New Mexico—November 6–8, 2015. This
conference will focus on the helping needs
of former group members and families
and will include a training track for mental-
health professionals. Conference sessions
will emphasize discussion so participants
can address issues pertinent to their
individual concerns.
The conference will take place at La Fonda
on the Plaza, one of Santa Fe’s finest
hotels, located in the heart of the old city.
Santa Fe has been chosen in order to give
ICSA’s western supporters an opportunity
to attend a conference closer to home. It
is also a lovely setting for those who come
from other parts of the USA, Canada, and
the world.
Speakers include some of the cultic-
studies field’s most experienced mental-
health professionals, and also former
members and family members who will
share their experiences.
The agenda will address the needs of those seeking help and those who want to help others.

Attend this conference if you are interested in how psychologically manipulative and demanding groups can hurt people, and what can be done to
help those who are harmed. The agenda will address the needs of those seeking help and those who want to help others. Among the topics to be
explored are
• What helps people leave cultic groups and relationships?
• Dealing with cult-related trauma
• Coping with triggers
• Building relationships and communicating with the cult involved
• After the cult: Who am I?
• Support groups
• Cults and the suppression of free speech
• Exit counseling and conflict resolution
• Spiritual issues in recovery
• Cults and children
• Case discussions for mental-health professionals
• Cultic dynamics in sex trafficking
Because Santa Fe is a “daytime” city, we have scheduled 2-hour lunch breaks so that attendees can enjoy walking around old Santa Fe, where there are
numerous art galleries, museums, and quaint shops, as well as stunning Southwest architecture. The hotel will permit the special conference rate 3
days pre- and postconference for those who wish to spend time touring Santa Fe and its environs. Call La Fonda’s Reservations Department at 1-800-
523-5002.
Please tell others about this conference. We hope you join us!
