Christian Sex Addiction Specialists International (formerly IACSAS) is a non-profit, Christian organization comprised of leaders in the sex addiction/partner trauma fields. Our goal is to equip Christian therapists and clinicians; life coaches; pastors and ministers; and lay church leaders with the resources they need to effectively and ethically help those whose lives have been impacted by sexual addiction. We achieve these goals by:
-
Offering professional development opportunities—including advanced training and certification—to clinicians and life coaches who have undergone previous training in sex addiction and partner (of sex addict) trauma training with another approved organization
-
Offering training and certification for clergy, para-church organizations, and lay leaders who support those wounded by sexual addiction—including pastoral sex addiction specialist training
-
Providing clinical supervision (therapists) and peer supervision and/or mentoring (coaches/church community) for those practicing or ministering in the sex addiction/partner trauma fields
-
Organizing an annual conference—for those who work in these fields—which serves as an opportunity for face-to-face professional development, networking, and peer support
-
Providing online communities for those who work in this field

-
Equip ourselves and other believers with the knowledge and skills needed to provide ethical care and relational healing for addicts, partners, families and Christian communities impacted by sexual addiction and betrayal trauma
