GA offered me a safe haven, when everything
around me was falling apart and nobody
understood what was happening to us, even
the ones who were trying to give us advice.
Unless you have been through this process
yourself or are very close to someone who has,
you cannot know the dark web of suffering
and despair that it plungers you into. ..Having
the support of the others stuck parents has
been a life-saver in my darkest, scariest
moments, when I feared the worse, and was
confronted with such cruel and overwhelming
waves of attacks by my narcissistic ex. It was
invaluable to have these amazing, strong
people hold my hand through it all, with
unwavering support amidst such darkness.” –

    It's the only organization out there that serves this somewhat unique group, and those running it appear competent and motivated.

  • Karen

    Whenever I come across a story like mine, the first thing I recommend is GlobalARRK. The only place with so much expertise in this matter, the only place you can communicate with so many stuck/Hague convention parents.

    The moment I was linked with GlobalARRK was a turning point for me, I no longer felt as alone as I had.
    Rebecca

  • Joanna

    The knowledge and resources you provide are amazing but without a doubt, for me, it's the support. I don't know how I would have made it through the last year without the support of GlobalARRK and the other stuck parents, I can't find the words to express my gratitude and love for all of you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! X

    It give hope and the much needed support of others in the same situation, without GlobalARRK I would have been still stuck in feeling like I was the only person in the world going through this nightmare

  • Jackie

    It has given me strength and hope knowing that I’m not fighting this alone and that there’s an organisation of people who are fighting this fight. The group gives me strength and support, advice and a place where I can share my experience and feel like I’m helping others. It helps me feel empowered and supported. There’s also all the practical advice and meeting other mums face to face.

    Invaluable moral support, got me in touch with my current lawyer, gave a general advice on the situation, helped me to get in touch with mothers in the same situation

    The information and knowledge you have provided is beyond what I expected. The contact from you and other parents in my situation has been invaluable, I couldn't have imagined trying to go through this without all of your support and knowledge

  • Sarah

    I am forever grateful to GlobalARRK for supporting me through the most difficult time in my life. They helped find a great solicitor. They also helped me with advice in regards to accommodation and other practical things. What's more important, they have been there for me, giving me emotional support, day or night.

  • Helen

    Only people who have been through such a horrific experience as we have, or are going through it, truly fathom the pain, fear, feelings of hopelessness and despair. The GlobalARRK team have been there. They really understand. They provided me with non-judgmental practical support and advice. They saved my sanity. I cannot thank them enough for the help they provided me and so many others like me
