Getting Involved

People can get involved in REVEAL's work in a number of ways. For information, please contact Chris Lee at chclee@alum.mit.edu or (617) 491-3098. Here are some things you can do:

Write up your personal story/testimony about your experience with the ICC, and let REVEAL make it available in the on-line library. We only ask that you use your real name on your story. You are free to use pseudonyms for others in your story, provided you identify them as such, and in rare cases we may agree to post a pseudonymous story provided we know who you are.

Volunteer to talk with current and former members who need some support from people who've been through what they're going through. We ask that people who do this first "introduce" themselves to us if we don't already know them by writing their "bio" of their time in the movement. We'll also ask about the reading you've done about cult recovery and the ICC, how long you've been out, and where you are in your own recovery. This is to be sure that you are ready to deal with the phone calls and email you will get -- those contacting you are often going through a difficult time.

Start a support group or host an existing support group for former members, family and friends at your home. If you are willing to do this, let REVEAL put you into contact with others in your area who want to form a support group, and list your group when it is up and running.

Help put into HTML format material on the ICC and related subjects for the REVEAL library. If you know HTML and are willing to help prepare material for the website, contact the REVEAL director below and give him your "resume".

Please remember that you don't have to join REVEAL to get involved in the work we do. You can put up a website about the ICC, for example -- you don't need to contact REVEAL to do that. (We do hope you'll let us know about it, though, so that we can review it for our links page.) You can start other Internet-based services for former members, such as mailing lists and web blog. You can keep track of the activities of the ICC in your town, or at the university close to where you live, and share that information with the local newspaper, university's deans, and others.
