OJJDP Releases New Guide for Families of Missing Children

In observance of National AMBER Alert Awareness Day, OJJDP has released the second edition of “What About Me? Finding Your Path Forward When Your Brother or Sister is Missing.” Written by family members who have experienced the abduction of a brother or sister, the guide serves as a resource for siblings of missing children and their parents or caretakers.

The guide discusses mental health, family dynamics, maintaining school and work routines, as well as coping with holidays and traditions. The guide also outlines ways to effectively work with law enforcement and the media, and what to do if their missing sibling returns.
