Dads in Distress
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...
