<youtube size="medium" align="right" caption="Families Matter: Families Talk About Loved Ones Travelling to Syria">A93sqAz7ii4</youtube> Families Against Stress and Trauma (FAST) is a 'UK based organisation providing support to vulnerable families and individuals', designed to discourage young people from travelling to Syria, Iraq or being radicalised. [1]
In July 2014, former home secretary Theresa May endorsed the 'Families Matter' campaign led by FAST, saying:
'This campaign addresses one of the most significant issues facing communities up and down Britain – the extremely damaging effect of young people choosing to travel to Syria and now Iraq. While many may be motivated by a desire to help the country, the result and impact on these people, their families and often on the communities they are trying to support is very destructive indeed.'
