When someone goes missing it affects everyone within the
family who are left behind. For young people this can show in many different
ways, moods can swing from angry to sad, sleepless nights, not eating,
confusion and questions around blame - was it my fault?
These are signs of trauma and can happen in the first days
or months that follow their loved one leaving. Our Telephone Counselling for
young people will offer a safe space to talk through feelings and emotions, to
understand and to explore ways to cope during this most upsetting of times.
We will be adaptable and provide the sessions either by
phone or by video call - whichever suits best.

We have recently been joined by 2 new counsellors, Elizabeth
Gow and Lucy Wade, who are very experienced in working with young people and
who have been trained to work with the issues those families with loved ones
missing go through.
If you are or you know of a young person who has been
affected by having a loved one go missing, please call our free
confidential helpline on 116 000. Likewise, if you are unsure and would like to
talk things through further, please call and our team will speak with you
about how we can help.
Having someone missing from your life affects all members of
the family and Missing People want to ensure that everyone feels supported.
