Help Committee Report 2021

 

In 2021, the Aftermath Surviving Psychopathy Foundation received 34 contacts. Here we provide summary information about people who contacted us, including the countries from which people wrote to us and why. As always, we provide no information about any individuals to protect the privacy of people who are in touch with us.

 

Just to be clear, for this report, we do not count several other legitimate attempts to reach us. For example, we do not include here contacts regarding donations to the Foundation or emails that are related to the other operations of the Aftermath Foundation (except for offers to help us). We are also not counting sales emails (people who want to offer us services for money) or group emails in which someone reaches out to a group (where we have no ongoing relationship with the sender).

 

Help Requests 2021

 

As you can see, the requests came from several different countries. Although the largest share of requests came from the United States, there were several requests from other countries and several requests from people who did not indicate where they were located.

 

We think this diversity reflects the fact that people saw resources that we have published in different languages. We currently publish at least some of the science-based information about psychopathy in 12 languages (we were publishing in 11 languages in 2021). We are happy people are reaching out to us from many parts of the world. We are always hoping to find ways to reach more people who are being hurt by psychopathic people.

If you speak two languages, please consider translating some of our information about psychopathy to help others!

 

Not only were there requests from many countries; there were several different kinds of inquiries in 2021. 11 people wrote to us to ask a question or obtain information.

 

In most cases, we were able to answer the questions, but in 2 cases we provided only partial answers.

 

Another 7 people were in communication with us, but we did not provide any concrete help.

 

In 5 cases we were able to provide a referral.

 

Another 7 people wrote to us to express thanks or to offer to help us, and 1 wrote to obtain help accessing our Survivors’ Forum.

 

 

As word about psychopathy spreads, we hope more mental health professionals learn about psychopathy, so more of them are able to help the people who need them. And, remember, we are in the process of preparing online courses to help educate therapists so they can be more helpful to survivors!
