Stop It Now

About

Stop It Now is a child sexual abuse prevention nonprofit that works to provide adults with guidance and resources to keep kids safe. This includes maintaining a 24/7 helpline where pedophiles can get support if they have concerns about their attractions or need help finding professional support. They previously worked with MAP Support Club to provide regular in-chat counseling sessions, though this partnership has since ended and the sessions are now provided by another practitioner.

The organization also has educational materials and lists of additional support resources on its website, but these are typically not as up-to-date or comprehensive as the material provided by pedophile-focused groups.

If you disclose identifying information about one or more people involved in a child abuse situation, they have a legal obligation to report the situation and any identifying information they have to the authorities. They do not collect identifying information if you simply browse their website without contacting them.
