Help
We are used to supporting lots of different types of people. You might be a family member, friend, colleague, carer or acquaintance. No matter, we are here for you.
We’ve been supporting families and friends of missing people for over 25 years. We understand the challenges and emotions that you face. For some, this lasts for hours. For others, much longer.
When someone you know goes missing, it can be the beginning of an emotional rollercoaster. You could be feeling all sorts of emotions right now, including sadness, loss, guilt or anger. You might move quickly from one emotion to another, or have lots of feelings at once, leaving you feeling confused and emotionally vulnerable.
We are here to try and help you and your family make sense of your feelings. Whatever you are feeling right now, you’re not alone. We are here to support you today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes, until your loved one has returned.
