The Moran Company is pleased to partner with Munchausen Support to recruit the organization's Executive Director.

Organizational Background

Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) is a serious, complex, and widely misunderstood form of medical child abuse. It leaves a wide swath of destruction and trauma for everyone involved, often resulting in lifelong devastation for survivors.

Founded in 2021 in collaboration with some of the world’s top experts on MBP, the Munchausen Support Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing science- and fact-based resources. The Foundation offers critical support for family members in crisis, survivors seeking treatment, and professionals navigating active cases.

Today, the organization offers structured 10-week survivor support groups alongside specialized cohorts, including dedicated groups for fathers and grandparents. In addition to direct peer support, the Munchausen Support Foundation focuses on pioneering research, education for healthcare providers on how to recognize medical abuse, and professional training for proper evaluation and support delivery.

As the Foundation approaches its 5-year milestone, the Board of Directors is seeking a high-caliber, experienced, and visionary leader with a growth mindset to serve as its inaugural Executive Director.
