Online Resources for Families and Leaders
Spouses and other family members carry heavy burdens when trying to help a loved one involved with pornography. These resources can help.
When Church members are dealing with pornography on any of the levels identified in the article by Elder Oaks, Church leaders and the spouses or families of those dealing with the problem have several helps available.
Overcomingpornography.org
This site helps people find healing, forgiveness, protection, and power through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It includes practical guidance and resources for pornography users, their spouses and family members, and Church leaders.
Ministering.lds.org
This site is primarily for ward and stake council members. It includes specific guidance about ministering to all affected by the use of pornography.
Addictionrecovery.lds.org
The LDS Family Services Addiction Recovery Program offers confidential group meetings to help spouses and families of those dealing with pornography find peace and healing by applying gospel principles. Visit this site to learn how to join these meetings.
Priesthood leaders may find the site helpful to use during interviews or in Addiction Recovery Program meetings.
Stake presidents who want to start new Addiction Recovery Program meetings in their stakes should contact LDS Family Services, their area welfare manager, or the Area Presidency or assigned member of the Presidency of the Seventy.
