Diane Benscoter to Speak on Psychological Manipulation – May 13

May is Mental Health Month, and on Saturday, May 13th at 4 pm in the Winn Room at the Coronado Public Library, the Coronado Democratic Club is presenting a special program featuring Diane Benscoter, the Founder of Antidote.ngo.

Diane will be speaking about the public health problems caused by the dangerous psychological manipulation used today by many seemingly innocent and even legitimate groups. Diane has personal experience with one such group having been a member the Unification Church (aka the Moonies) in the 1980s. After many years in the Unification Church, Diane realized she had been manipulated into believing many things that were simply not true. Since then Diane has dedicated her life to educating the public about how people are convinced to “drink the Kool-Aid.” She will share what their friends, families, and neighbors can do to help extract them from whatever group they joined.

The event is open to the entire Coronado community and will shed light on how and why people join groups like these.

For those who cannot attend in person, the presentation will be on Zoom and will be recorded and available later on YouTube. The Zoom link for May 13th is: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84366356006?pwd=cTd0ZWlPQytkRnhyeklBQS9pSU1MQT09
Meeting ID: 843 6635 6006 and Passcode: 604312
