One major myth surrounding those who have a sexual interest in children is that these individuals are doomed to offend and can’t be helped. This is very untrue, as there are many programs that exist globally to help these individuals live a safe, happy and non-offending life.

According to our past helpline users, after talking to one of our professionals, their perceived risk of using CSAM (also known as child pornography) significantly reduced. This is a critical component of our program focused on preventing individuals from acting on their urges.
