Who are we? Parents Beyond Breakup is a national charity working in many communities across Australia and focussing on suicid ... e prevention in one of the most at risk demographics - separating parents. Why do we exist Every child deserves a great relationship with their parents, one that offers them the best possible start in life. We believe all mums and dads want to be the best parents that they can be, and that at times all of us struggle to live up to that expectation. We exist to help separated mums and dads deal with the practical and personal challenges that can get in the way of being the best parents they can be. How do we work We work to make positive change happen on an individual, cultural and systemic level. We help separated mums and dads to find more effective ways to deal with their situation; we do this through our helpline, local peer support groups and other resources. We work to raise public awareness of the challenges that parents face, and to improve the way the system helps parents contribute to the upbringing of their children. The results Separated parents are connected to a community of support that they need; in doing so we help parents cope with being separated from their children and to find the optimal path to reconnecting them. 7 out of 10 parents that we work with say that we offer the best support that they have been able to find. 2016 Research shows that we helped prevent just under 240 parental suicides; that's children from nearly 240 families, in one year, that will not have lost a much loved parent. read more
