Find real life experiences and advice from people who have been in your position. Some know what it is like to go missing and others have had a loved one missing.
Your experiences
People choose to share something of themselves to help others. Some do it to share hope, to explain loss, to give advice. Many want to talk and remember the person who means so much to them.
Others bravely share the difficulties they have had and what made them feel they needed to go missing, or stay away from home.
Have you been inspired by other people’s words or videos and would like to tell us. We are always wanting more people to be brave and speak up giving us a chance to share your words.
