AFAR Coalition of Sex and Porn Addiction Treatment Leaders
Sex addiction will not be recognized by accident.
It will be understood because we organize.
The Coalition of Sex & Porn Addiction Treatment Leaders is a national network of programs and clinicians working together to advance recognition, research, ethical care, and access to treatment. By aligning our voices, data, and expertise, we strengthen the credibility of the field and accelerate progress that no single program can achieve alone.
