OUR PROGRAMS

Education

Our aim as left behind parents and as an organization is to bring about awareness of international parental child abductions. We are here not just to inform people that this does happen in Canada, but to support, assist, and find ways to resolve this crises. Although most people may think that these cases are resolved quickly, the fact of the matter is that most drag on for years on end because of laws and regulations, diplomacy and noncooperation. Parental alienation is a crime and has left many victims in despair so we are offering our knowledge and our familiarity of the process and the legal procedures based on our own awareness.

Advocacy

We connect with government, NGOs, and parents to advocate for meaningful change for those who have experienced some aspect of an international child abduction.z

Networking

Each international child abduction is its own story — but there are many common elements. We connect parents to share strategies, stories and resources.

Support

A parent experiencing the abduction of their child to another country is suffering a tremendous, terrifying loss. We know how this feels and we are here to help you.
