Can you help our helpline?
The technical back-up has been revamped, thanks to Paul O’Callaghan, Greg Caravadino and others. More data is being captured, to improve our fundraising and lobbying. So our whole operation benefits.
It has also revealed how great the need is. In terms of the number of people that seek help and the effect having it has on them.
More volunteers are needed. It’s a highly rewarding task – the appreciation of the help given. Membership of a well organised and supportive team. Of course, you must have a suitable approach and knowledge, but training and support will be provided.
‘That was someone [FNF/Both Parents Matter] did not get to in time.’
Wrote a kindly journalist of a suicide of a father whose children had been stopped from seeing him.
Contact denial plays a part in a significant number of the appalling rate of male suicide. We could have given him support and hope. Maybe we could have told him of remedies he was unaware of? Most relationships are restored, even if, sometimes, much later. We’d have told him that is the last thing his children would have wanted. It would distress them the whole of their lives.
Contact denial is a form of bereavement, worse in some respects than others. It lasts longer.
Help us help them – the children and their parents.
