introduction

If you are finding it hard to deal with the break-up of a marriage, depression, child access, family court or just need someone to talk to, Dads in Distress is there to help.

Dads in Distress is a dedicated support group of men (in Australia) whose immediate concern is to stem the present trend of male suicide due to the trauma of divorce or separation.

Current statistics that have been published, indicate too many men will take their own lives in preference to facing family, friends and importantly their own children with the failure of the relationship.

We aim to prevent this incidence from occurring by showing the men and the community at large that someone really cares.

Dads in Distress Inc is a Non-Profit organisation and tax deductible Harm Prevention Charity.

GOOD KARMA

This is a nice reading, but short. Enjoy! This is what The Dalai Lama has to say for 2005. All it takes is a few seconds to read and think over. This is true for all - even if you are not superstitious... or of whatever religious belief... Faith...
