The Cult Hotline & Clinic was founded in 1980 to serve families and friends of cult members, former cult members, and to educate community groups most at risk of interaction with cults. We are a nonprofit, non-sectarian counseling and education organization working with people of all religious, ethnic, and racial backgrounds.

The Cult Hotline & Clinic is a program of the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services, one of the nation's largest and most respected nonprofit mental health and social service agencies. JBFCS serves over 65,000 New Yorkers annually from all religious, ethnic, and economic backgrounds through a comprehensive range of 185 community-based programs, residential facilities, and day-treatment centers.

Based in New York City, the Cult Clinic primarily works with people and community groups in the Greater New York Meto Area; however through the Cult Hotline phone support, and with our extensive network of professionals, we are able to assist people in need across the United States.

We offer consultation, counseling, community education, and referrals. The Cult Clinic is not an intervention agency, but we can assist families in the exit counseling process.

The Cult Hotline & Clinic receives funding from the UJA-Federation of New York and was co-founded by the JCRC Task Force on Missionaries and Cults.
