B4U-ACT

WESTMINSTER, MD

    • Mission

    As an alliance of therapists, researchers, and MAPs, B4U-ACT’s mission is to promote a science-informed understanding about people in our communities with an attraction to children or adolescents, and to support them living in truth and dignity.

    About Us

    Founded in 2002, B4U-ACT is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to advancing a compassionate, science-informed understanding of minor-attracted persons (MAPs). Through partnerships with mental health professionals, researchers, and MAPs themselves, B4U-ACT aims to reduce stigma, promote mental well-being, and support effective therapeutic resources for MAPs. The goal of B4U-ACT is to create a future where MAPs can confidently access mental health support without fear of judgment or discrimination, thus improving the health of MAPs and our communities.

    We are a dedicated team of more than a dozen volunteers who support this mission through a variety of initiatives:

    • -Hosting workshops and presentations for mental health professionals, students, and researchers.
    • -Collaborating with academic and clinical researchers to develop a better understanding of MAP-related issues.
    • -Publishing a scientific journal reviewing research on MAP-related issues.
    • -Offering support groups for MAPs, as well as for their friends and family members.
    • -Engaging with media, professional organizations, and the public to raise awareness about the needs and rights of MAPs.
