Alien Abduction Support Assistance Programs We're glad you're here. Because we've been there too. OPUS provides connections to mental health practitioners, support groups, and partner organizations that are dedicated to helping Experiencers. WHAT IS OPUS? The Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support (OPUS) was founded in the United States in 1994 in order to educate and support people having unusual or anomalous personal experiences. Such experiences may include extraordinary states of consciousness, spiritual or parapsychological phenomenon, close encounters with non-human entities, and / or UFO/UAP activity . Through our network, OPUS connects individuals with fellow experiencers, as well as professionals in an array of mental and medical health fields who are willing and able to work with and/or believe in the nature of these events. Today, after more than twenty-five years of being a centralized connector and resource, OPUS continues to offer support for experiencers, their friends and family, and professional providers, worldwide. All I can say to those of you who are reading this is we are not alone, YOU are not alone in this struggle, and together we can share our stories and support one another in the hopes of one day finally finding out why this is happening to us. "Stillwater" OPUS Support Group Member since 2019 THE OPUS NETWORK OF SUPPORT Each paranormal or anomalous experience is completely unique, as is each Experiencer. As such, OPUS works with each individual to offer the connections and support that is needed at each moment of their journey .

GET SUPPORT EXPERT CONSULTATION WITH OUR EXPERIENCER SUPPORT TEAM (EST) Our Experiencer Support Team is composed of professionals in the field of paranormal and anomalous activity with more than two centuries of combined experience, many of them Experiencers themselves . The initial consultation with an EST Associate is a way for Experiencers to receive compassionate listening as well as referrals to resources that are a best fit for the unique aspects of the event(s) experienced. You should be contacted by an EST associate within 72 hours after submitting your Support Request. The consultation will take place over voice or video call (Zoom, Skype, or other platform) . Experiencers are invited to share as much of the event(s) as is comfortable and to ask the Associate questions. After the consultation, the Experiencer will receive referrals , if desired, to particular OPUS Providers (hypnotherapists, mental health practitioners, partner organizations), support groups, and educational resources.

GET SUPPORT If this is an emergency and you are in need of immediate assistance, dial 988 to reach the nationwide crisis hotline. MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS QUALIFIED, CERTIFIED AND OPEN-MINDED Experiencer therapy and counseling have been shown to lessen chronic anxiety and mental health challenges that often follow paranormal experiences . Additionally, through the therapeutic process, Experiencers gain new insight into the events themselves and are able to move forward with new found confidence and abilities to deal with adversity. Research has shown that people who have chosen to work with a qualified counselor or therapist to explore their experiences are almost always satisfied with the decision . The OPUS Provider Network includes more than one hundred psychiatrists, psychotherapists, licensed counselors, social workers and other mental health professionals who are all experienced with, and desire to support, Experiencers of anomalous and paranormal activity . These practitioners understand the unique needs of Experiencers and the process of integrating and learning from these events in order to ultimately facilitate the healing that is possible for every Experiencer. Many providers offer free initial consultations. GET SUPPORT Please note: OPUS does not have a legal, financial or business relationship with any member of its provider network or provider referral list. OPUS does not have agreements to recommend specific individuals or organizations. It is at the discretion of each Experiencer which referrals to contact. HYPNOTHERAPISTS EDUCATED, EXPERIENCED & SUPPORTIVE Hypnotherapy has proven safe and effective for anomalous event recall and exploration when conducted by certified and experienced practitioners. The OPUS Provider Network includes hypnotherapists in every U.S. state that are certified in basic hypnosis and therapeutic techniques, often with additional training in psychology and counseling. All of our hypnotherapists are open to, and have experience working with, patients who have encountered UFO/UAP or other anomalous phenomena. There are several considerations to take into account before undergoing hypnotherapy, such as: Personal readiness The presence of interpersonal relationships or life stability to offer support with what is recalled Preparedness for the time and budget that may be required to remember the events to satisfaction Most hypnotherapists in our network offer a free initial consultation, and can be a valuable resource for exploring your readiness as well as describing more of the hypnotherapy process.

Many offer complimentary initial consultations. ONLINE, CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNITY & REFERRALS TO ADDITIONAL SUPPORT GROUPS The OPUS Support Group is a peer-facilitated support group of Experiencers from around the world who gather to discuss, share and support each other through the process of exploring and understanding their experiences. Support group members may post questions, connections, or resources, and can attend monthly online support group meetings. The community nature of our Support Group has often led to in-person meetings and lifelong friendships. TIM K. OPUS Support Group Member since 2016 “Because of my being invited to this group and welcomed with wide, warm, open arms, I feel less lost…This group has been open to hearing my crazy ideas, my dreams, my thoughts, and my theories. They have helped me in making sense of it all. They gave substance to what I have wondered about all along….I come away less confused and not obsessing so much…I think most of all is the feeling of belonging. Knowing this group is here if need be, is a comfort. For, as many pointed out, there are few, if any, places to speak openly about this…The knowledge of this collective group is astonishing.” STACY OPUS Support Group Member since 2018 As an experiencer, I walk through life with a secret. Over the years the weight of this secret has become a heavy burden, one that needed to be shared. The timing for joining OPUS could not have been more perfect in my life. Within this group, I have found a place for connection - one of understanding and acceptance. I was free to be me, an experiencer. Here there is a common language that we speak and understand, it is a bond that connects us - a bond that one feels within a family. MR A. OPUS Support Group Member since 2018 I think this is a very special place, truly unique. OPUS has literally changed my life because over several years now, I’ve been able to come to terms with it all, as I continue to try to figure out what’s really going on…The privacy we have here to speak freely without ridicule make it possible to really find a solid footing, over time. ADAM OPUS Support Group Member since 2019 There are members from all over the world - South Africa, Australia, Canada, India. Sharing our experiences and talking things through without ridicule, is a unique and invaluable resource…We share photos and drawings and uncritically explore possibilities and commonalities. I can’t thank Les and the OPUS team enough for making this possible. Just being able to clearly talk about this high strangeness with others who are going through the same keeps me grounded.

OPUS TESTIMONIALS NORBERTO PELLICCI OPUS Support Group Member since 2004 OPUS gives us a safe place to describe our experiences without any fear of ridicule, but more importantly, it gives me (and us) a place to receive encouragement and support by others who truly understand what I’ve been through. KATHY OPUS Support Group Member since 2010 It’s been a complete pleasure to interact with the members. I definitely enjoy the meetings whether in person or remotely…I actually wish that everyone could have a paranormal experience sometime in their life. Such experiences knock down the walls we put up around our thinking regarding what’s possible. UAP/UFO WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTIONS INCREASE "We can't be afraid of asking questions and we can't be afraid of the truth." Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) Subcommittee on National Security, The Border, and Foreign Affairs Hearing on UAP July 26, 2023 The United States government continues to expand protections for, and investigations in, reports of UAP/UFO craft, and reverse engineering programs. As the stigma of reporting these topics continues to be removed, OPUS expects that additional individuals will feel greater agency to come forward and acknowledge their own experiences. We wholeheartedly support this effort, and are working to expand our network of providers to assist these individuals and their families. The Unknown Other and the Existential Proposition of Alien Contact by Les Velez, Co-Founder of OPUS In The Unknown Other, author, chairman and co-founder of OPUS, Les Velez, weaves together the history of OPUS, perspectives on newly released UFO/UAP information presented by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and first-hand accounts from Experiencers of encounters with non-human intelligences. These thought-provoking parallels suggest that, with greater acceptance of the phenomena and the growing number individuals experiencing them, perhaps more will finally be understood. Forward by Linda Moulton Howe, creator of Earthfiles. All proceeds go directly to OPUS. “The Unknown Other and the Existential Proposition of Alien Contact is a must-read for ufologists, experiencers, and those close to them, and, perhaps most importantly, for those healthy skeptics who are searching for hard evidence as they consider these in many ways dark and disturbing phenomena.” - Joey Madia “Most of the abduction stories I had never heard of before and were unusually unique. Gives you much more food for thought!!!” - Frank Alexander BUY NOW SUPPORT THE WORK OF OPUS OPUS is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization which relies on the support of our volunteers and the generosity of our community to conduct our work.

Welcome to the Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support "I've had an experience, now what!?" Chances are high, you found us because you've had an 'experience.' ​ The sometimes disturbing, difficult to believe or spiritual nature of anomalous experiences might lead an individual to seek professional help, but because these experiences often fall outside the realm of what is considered “normal”, there is often a lack of professionals willing or able to work with these issues. Request Support The Unknown Other: and the Existential Proposition of Alien Contact by Mr. Lester Velez (Author) A look at how OPUS, the Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support came about to help people with their paranormal experiences and the paranormal phenomenon of Alien Contact and the physiological and psychological characteristics along with the latest UAP information presented by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
