Hi all. Big hugs to each and every one of you.

I registered my interest in the Inform course the day after the knock, when I first used the helpline. I had an online meeting with a therapist almost 5 weeks ago to discuss my situation and what to expect from the course. I've heard nothing since, and just wondered how long it took those of you who've done the course to start it? I'm desperate to start.

Thankyou

Hello! I hope you hear soon. It's a really helpful course and found it very supportive. You should get a lot from it.
from the call to getting an email invitation to the course it was about a month. And then another 6 weeks till I started. They told me it would be about a 3 month wait. It was probably about that, maybe a little less.

Hi Poppet,

It took about 2 months for us, I'm not sure if it took longer due to him being by a child though. Hope you hear soon, they are so good xx

Cedar - The Inform course is a six week psycho-educational programme run by LFF for family members of those under investigation for online offences. The aim is to help people make some sense of recent events relating to their loved one's behaviour and to build knowledge and confidence in relation to the next steps to take.

We live within a reasonable distance of a Lucy Faithfull office so did it on our own as a face to face course. Usually it's in an online group setting.
