Are you ready to take the first step to support?

There are a range of reasons that you might be seeking support.

It is important that you find the right fit for you.

The services listed on our platform offer a range of options for people who are learning about their sexual interests, seeking guidance, or, if needed, managing behaviour.

These may include counseling, therapy, helplines, and websites or tools to help you feel less isolated, more connected and optimistic.

These services, if suited to your needs, can provide a safe environment for you to explore and address concerns, develop coping strategies, avoid harmful illegal behaviours and promote personal growth.

I felt unhappy and despised myself. Finally, I overcame my fear and called the number of the prevention network that my brother had told me about. I was totally surprised to be treated there with respect. The network arranged for me to receive outpatient psychotherapy near my home. I still go regularly.

An acquaintance told me about [a] project. I phoned and immediately got an appointment for an anonymous individual conversation with a psychiatrist…. Right from the start, it was a big relief to finally be able to speak openly about this taboo subject without being rejected or judged by someone because of my sexual preference.

As a cognitive psychotherapist working with individuals struggling with harmful and illicit sexual behaviours, I have seen first hand the critical need for accessible and supportive resources. In the help-seeking phase, it is essential for individuals to feel that there are professional, confidential resources available to them. StepTo.Support offers this assurance, backed by credible professionals dedicated to preventing harm and promoting healthy, responsible behaviours. By facilitating early intervention and support, this platform is a vital tool in our collective effort to protect children and support those seeking to change their behaviour.
