  • Fact sheet - An empirically-informed fact sheet about consensual non-monogamy with recommendations for researchers and clinicians on how to be inclusive toward the CNM community.

  • CNM Literature Database - An open access database of indexed and organized articles (e.g., peer-reviewed articles, case studies, dissertations) and artifacts related to consensual non-monogamy for researchers and educators.

  • APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Sexual Minority Persons - With guidance from the APA Committee on CNM, the APA’s Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Sexual Minority Persons now include a guideline addressing CNM. See Guideline 9 for details.

  • Kenneth R. Haslam Collection on Polyamory - An educational resource with historic artifacts related to polyamory archived at The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University that can be reviewed by researchers, educators, and the public.

  • Advocating for CNM-Inclusive Therapy Directories - One way to remove the barrier to culturally competent healthcare is to help people engaged in CNM identify medical and mental health providers that are affirming of diverse relationships and sexualities. Our letters to APA Psychologist Locator and Psychology Today requesting additional searchable categories for Consensual Non-monogamies/Open Relationships and Kink/Diverse Sexualities prompted them to update their directories to improve clients’ ability to find CNM and kink-affirming therapists.
