Being the only organization of its kind in Canada, Info-Cult also offers support and guidance services to former members of groups or their loved ones. It also houses one of the most important documentation centres specialized in this area.

Info-Cult aims to promote the dignity and integrity of the individual, respect for individual and collective rights, freedom of thought and expression, and the right to access information.

In accordance with its charter, Info-Cult’s mandate is to:

• promote the study of cultic phenomena;
• sensitize, inform and educate the public about these phenomena;
• assist people with problems related to these phenomena.
