Sat Nam Dear Members of Our 3HO, Sikh Dharma and KRI Community,
As the independent investigation by An Olive Branch continues, our organization is taking an initial step to respond with compassion to those reporting allegations of sexual misconduct by Yogi Bhajan.
We are making available confidential, professional counseling to any individual asserting harm from the misconduct they have reported. Beginning April 1, we have engaged
Concern (https://www.concernhealth.com), a third-party assistance program, whose staff will perform a confidential intake process of those wishing to enter into counseling. Concern will refer these individuals to one of its recommended and trusted local counselors.

for an explanation of how Concern selects its counselors in different localities.
The services are available at no cost to the individual, and their identity will remain private. Anyone reporting harm from the conduct under investigation will be referred to Concern.
Our decision to offer these counseling services is not an indication of any conclusions being drawn by the continuing investigation or by any part of our organization. These service are offered out of compassion for those who may find them valuable. We will continue to reach out to community members in ways that reflect our values of mutual respect and caring.
We encourage anyone with relevant information, either supporting or refuting the allegations, to email An Olive Branch at Yb.investigation@an-olive-branch.org. Because of the high volume of contacts, you can expect return contact within 5 days.
We are here to support all members of our community as we seek the truth regarding these issues and move together towards understanding and healing.
