Māori Bishop to Open Cult Awareness Conference in Christchurch

A Māori Anglican bishop will open a conference in Christchurch aimed at raising awareness about the impact of coercive high-control groups. Survivors and their supporters are uniting to address the physical, psychological, and spiritual harm caused by these groups.

The conference focuses on the experiences of individuals affected by high-control groups, often referred to as cults. Attendees will discuss recovery and healing from the harm inflicted by these organisations.

Survivors will share their stories to better inform the public and advocate for those still in such groups. The event aims to provide resources and support for survivors while raising awareness about the need for vigilance against coercive practices.

The initiative highlights the importance of community support for those who have undergone trauma from high-control groups. The event looks to empower survivors in their journey towards healing and reclaiming their lives.
