Beyond Belief Paper
The Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into Cults and Organised Fringe groups has given us an opportunity to create meaningful, survivor-led change. It is our pleasure to present the group submission created in conjunction with survivor groups.
“Beyond Belief” is belief-neutral, behaviour-focused, survivor-led and trauma-informed. Check out our posts for what’s next, or click on the image to view the final report.
With a working group, 64 individual respondents, collaboration from the wonderful Dr Janja Lalich, and 935 individuals endorsing this piece, we know that this is the beginning of meaningful change.
