Guest speaking/training/media consultancy

​

I am a trained teacher and I deliver training events on the subject of cults and their impact on mental health.  I can tailor talks to meet the needs of your organisation or group. 

​

Cult awareness talks may be useful for...​

• Mental health professionals

• Those working in a health and social care setting (or training to work in this sector)

• General safeguarding training

• Students

• Concerned family members and friends

• Ex-cult members

• Religious or community groups

​

Past training events have explored issues such as...

• What is a cult? (Challenges of definitions and identifying a group)

• Personality types of cult leaders

• Theories of thought reform/mind control

• The psychology of persuasion

• The structure of a cult and recruitment processes

• Exploring case studies 

• Escaping a cult and the impact on mental health

• Recovery
