ICSA is proud to welcome STARTING OUT IN MAINSTREAM AMERICA by Livia
Bardin, an online resource for people who have left cults, their
families and friends, and professionals working to help them.
Online at http://startingout.icsa.name.
Starting Out is a compendium of information ranging from practical
needs like how to get a photo ID or a copy of a high school diploma,
to cultural catch-up, like types of popular music or quotations from
classic movies, to concepts like relationships with others. There
are detailed sections on basics like health, education, careers, and
money management, as well as consumer tips on subjects from housing
to selecting a doctor or counselor. Sections on “Parenting After the
Cult” and “Teenagers on Their Own,” focus on the needs of younger
people who have left cults. Though oriented to those living in the
U.S., Starting Out contains much that will be useful to people in all
countries.
Author Livia Bardin, M.S.W., is a social worker who has specialized in
research on cults and the experiences of cult victims. Her book,
Coping with Cult Involvement, focuses on families with loved ones in
cults. Her research on the experiences of children in cults has been
published in in the Cultic Studies Review and the Journal of Public
Child Welfare.
Available online only, Starting Out is accessible to anyone and
sections are downloadable free of charge. Users are prohibited from
selling or charging for information downloaded from the site.
