Maureen has been advocating for families of missing persons since her son Daniel went missing in 2011. She realized there was a lack of resources and support for families in her situation.

Some key milestones include Ontario passing a Missing Persons Act in 2019 and ongoing efforts for a national missing persons strategy and framework in Canada. Maureen continues her advocacy work in tribute to Daniel and others still missing, but notes more legislative changes and support services are still needed to ensure consistency and justice for all families with missing loved ones.

Why Canada Needs a Missing Persons Framework.pdfMaureen Trask
This document discusses the need for a national missing persons framework in Canada. It notes that currently, policies and responses to missing persons cases are inconsistent across jurisdictions, and there is no overarching coordination. The document outlines key objectives that a framework should achieve, including prevention, coordinated response, family support, and protection of vulnerable people. It argues a framework is needed to set clear roles, objectives, and commitments to improve how Canada addresses missing persons at a national level.
The Society of Irish Adopted People (SIAP) submitted recommendations to the Houses of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children regarding the Adoption (Identity and Information) Bill 2014. SIAP calls for the bill to be passed, which would give adopted people access to their birth certificates and adoption files. SIAP also recommends the establishment of statutory information and tracing services and the centralization of all adoption files with the Adoption Authority of Ireland, provided adequate resources are given to perform these functions. Currently many adopted people struggle to find information or must resort to private detectives to trace their roots.
OPP SAR Missing Persons - Contrasting PerspectivesMaureen Trask
Presentation "Missing Persons SAR, Contrasting Perspectives" by Maureen Trask and Michael Larocque presentation to the North SAR Mgmt, Ontario, held on Jan. 17, 2024.
- Maureen Trask and Brenda Richard will present on peer support for families of missing persons and ambiguous loss.
- Maureen's son Daniel went missing in 2011 and was found in 2015, leading her to seek peer support. She now co-facilitates a peer support group for families of the missing.
- Ambiguous loss describes the situation of a missing loved one, where their presence or absence cannot be verified, causing limbo and lack of closure. It differs from traditional grief where the loss is clearly defined. Support and understanding of ambiguous loss helps families cope.
Living with the disappearance of a loved one can be difficult due to the uncertainty involved. However, learning to accept and embrace the unknown can help with coping. Psychologist Pauline Boss recommends not blaming yourself for the loss, finding a new identity beyond just your relationship to the missing person, expressing your emotions instead of bottling them up, revising attachments by cultivating new relationships while cherishing what remains, and discovering hope that grows with time and acceptance of uncertainty. Ultimately, navigating this process can lead to positive personal growth despite the suffering.
This document outlines a volunteer training session on supporting families with missing persons. It discusses exploring the concept of "missing", learning about ambiguous loss and the supports needed by families. It emphasizes listening to families, understanding their experiences with uncertainty and triggers, and providing emotional support and referrals. It also discusses the need for improved relationships between police and families, and how victim services can help families navigate systems and resources during their journey.
