“Second-Generation
Adults (SGAs) do not have a “precult identity” to which they can
return. Raised in fringe subcultures, they frequently have
educational and other skill deficits that interfere with adjustment
to mainstream culture. Having grown up in high-demand, high-control
groups, SGAs struggle with issues of dependency, self-esteem, and
social conflict. They often have to deal with the trauma of physical
and/or sexual abuse. SGAs have difficulty getting help because they
tend to lack finances and be wary of other people, including
helpers.
Meeting annually since 2006, this workshop addresses the needs of SGAs through presentations by specialists and former members, including discussions in which attendees may participate according to their comfort levels. Special attention is paid to the need of SGAs for privacy, reflection, and working at their own pace.”
