Welcome
By accessing or using the IGA website, resources, or services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. These terms are designed to protect users, survivors, advocates, and IGA as an organization, while ensuring a respectful, ethical, and trauma-informed environment.
We treat security, confidentiality, and professional integrity as non-negotiable. Our work frequently involves sensitive criminal matters and protected information, which is why certain operational details and personnel identifiers are intentionally restricted.
Unauthorized access attempts are actively monitored and logged. Anyone seeking to probe, interfere with, or bypass our systems should assume their activity is already recorded.
Purpose of IGA
IGA provides educational content, advocacy resources, and support related to high-control organizations, abuse, and recovery. The information shared on this site is intended for general informational and advocacy purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, or mental health advice.
Our Commitment
IGA is committed to:
- Survivor-centered advocacy
- Transparency and accountability
- Ethical, evidence-based education

These terms exist not to silence, but to safeguard the space we’re building together.
User Expectations
By engaging with IGA, users are expected to:
- Interact respectfully and responsibly

Sensitive Content Disclaimer
Some content on this site discusses abuse, violence, coercion, and trauma. Viewer discretion is advised. Users are encouraged to prioritize their well-being and seek professional support if content becomes distressing.
No Legal or Medical Advice
IGA does not provide legal, medical, or psychological advice. Any decisions regarding reporting, legal action, or treatment should be made in consultation with qualified professionals. Laws and resources vary by jurisdiction and may change over time.
Confidentiality & Privacy
IGA takes privacy seriously. Personal information shared with IGA advocates is handled with care and discretion, in accordance with applicable privacy laws and internal confidentiality standards. However, confidentiality may be limited when there is a legal obligation such as:
- The requirement to report imminent harm to self or others
- A court order that requires disclosure under the law
- Other mandatory reporting requirements as defined by applicable state and federal law
We will always communicate with you about any limitations to confidentiality and will only disclose information when legally required to do so.
Advocacy Support
IGA advocates provide guidance, education, and resource navigation, not directives. Survivors maintain full autonomy over their decisions, timelines, and next steps.
