The mission of the National Missing Persons Helpline is to provide practical and emotional support for families and friends of missing persons via a team of trained volunteers.
The Helpline also seeks to raise awareness of missing persons though a variety of activities, including the publication of photographs of missing persons on its website, www.missingpersons.ie , launching public appeals for information and engaging with relevant state agencies, such as An Garda Síochána.
The Helpline is a non-profit organisation and registered charity and receives annual funding from the Department of Justice.
The Helpline provides important and helpful advice on what to do when a family member or close friend goes missing and also how affected family members and friends can take care of their own wellbeing in such challenging circumstances.
The Helpline runs a Family Peer Support Group programme which enables family members and friends affected by ambiguous loss to meet in-person and share their experiences in a supportive and empathetic space.
