Welcome to
Help Wanted

Help Wanted is an online course to provide help to people attracted to younger children.

Our goal is to give you some tools to support your commitment to strengthen your overall well-being and keep kids safe.

Help Evaluate New
Help Wanted Content!

We are seeking research participants to evaluate a new version of the Help Wanted course, developed with feedback from help seekers.

If you are a man (cis or transgender) who is 18 or older and attracted to children, have never had a contact offense with a child, and have not accessed the Help Wanted course in the past, we would love to hear from you. Your opinion matters!  

What’s Involved:  

  • Complete a series of anonymous, online surveys about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (about 30 minutes each). 
  • Review and provide feedback on the new Help Wanted course. 


Compensation:
Between $120 and $140 USD    

Note: The study prioritizes your anonymity by not seeking or recording personal identifiers, IP addresses, or geographical locations, and by not using browser fingerprinting or other methods to identify users. All traffic to and from the site is encrypted via https.

What people are saying

“[Help Wanted] helped remind me that I'm not alone in knowing that I'm attracted to children, but have never and will never hurt them and that I am indeed trying my best.”
“I felt very respected by the content…especially by hearing stories from other minor-attracted individuals.”
“It's so good listening to this. Just makes me so emotional. Knowing that I'm not alone. And that I can handle this...Thank you guys so much again, this really means a lot for me.”

If you are attracted to younger children, there are a few things we want you to know before you explore this site:

  • You are not defined by your attraction to younger children.
  • You deserve good health and happiness.
  • You can help keep children safe from child sexual abuse.
  • You are not alone.
