Jonah Institute for Gender Affirmation: 201-433-3444 or http://www.jonahweb.org (please use info@jonahweb.org to contact the organization by email.) The Jonah Institute is a world-wide, non-denominational, full service clinical and research center working with professionals of many disciplines, including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, life coaches, and mentors, all of whom are trained in gender affirmation techniques, and in many cases, have themselves overcome a form of sexual confusion. In focusing on many aspects of sexual confusion, the Jonah Institute emphasizes counseling individuals and families on how to deal with the social, cultural, and emotional risk factors leading to gender identity confusion, homosexual behavior, sexual addictions and other sexual issues. They offer individual & group counseling in a variety of formats: in- person, over the telephone, and by video-conference through SKYPE. As part of a full service program, they also recommend specific experiential weekends for men, women, and families.

People Can
Change at
www.peoplecanchange.com runs online
support groups where men who have left homosexuality and
resolved same-sex attraction problems give and receive
support to those struggling with unwanted same-sex
attractions. All
men who are conflicted over their sexuality and sincerely
want to know what it takes to change to a more heterosexual
orientation, and want to give and receive mutual support for
change, are welcome. Men who have always been heterosexual
are also welcome, on condition that their sole motivations
are to give support and increase their own understanding,
compassion and sense of brotherhood with us. These are not
religious groups. Men of all faiths -- or no faith -- are
welcome. We do
not discuss or debate religion, although men are welcome to
share their own personal spiritual journeys.
