MAP Support Club
About
MAP Support Club is a peer support group for pedophiles that started as a Discord server. Although it has since switched platforms, it maintains a similar layout today, making it popular among pedophiles who prefer a real-time chat interface. The group takes a strong stance against abuse, and this is reflected in their affiliation with the Prostasia Foundation, which serves as the group's child protection partner.
MAP Support Club is also one of the few places where pedophiles who are under the age of 18 can get support. Anyone older than 13 can join the group, but those under 18 have restrictions on their accounts. The group offers regular in-chat counseling sessions with a licensed mental health professional and is also undergoing an evaluation by researchers to evaluate its impact and suggest improvements.
What they offer
Privacy information
MAP Support Club has an extensive process for vetting new members, with staff approval required to progress past each step and gain additional access to the server. The group's rules prohibit sharing information about posts or other members, and the volunteer staff team is comprised entirely of pedophiles who were originally regular members, making community safety and member wellbeing top priorities for them.
