Cry-sis was founded by a small group of parents who were experiencing problems with their crying and sleepless babies. The charity's aim is to be professional, efficient and effective in providing self-help, support and information to families with excessively crying, sleepless babies.
Callers to the Helpline are referred to a volunteer member of Cry-sis. The volunteer provides a sympathetic ear, non-medical advice and on-going support to the caller, enabling them to devise strategies for coping during this particularly stressful and overwhelming period of parenting.
Cry-sis's trained volunteers have experienced crying and/or sleep problems with their own families and fully understand the affect on parents and families caused by a highly demanding young baby. Problems may include exhaustion, loneliness, loss of confidence in parenting skills, and total desperation.
In addition to the Helpline, Cry-sis publishes leaflets, booklets and free information packs. (Send a stamped addressed envelope to the above address or download copies of all the leaflets from their website.)
