Supporting the AFMA gives families, retractors of false memories, and professionals an opportunity to work together to seek answers to the recovered memory problem, and to remedy the devastating effects of false accusations. Membership includes the receipt of the AFMA Newsletter, announcements of meetings, and assistance in finding answers to members' questions. AFMA is not an organisation that anyone would normally wish to join. None the less, the issues raised by recovered memory are too serious to remain unaddressed. Without such an organisation, there is nobody to independently raise public concern in a considered and informed manner.
Individuals remain isolated in the shame brought by the experience false accusation.
They feel that they are subject to the presumption of guilt. The AFMA is an organisation of extremely limited means, with many members who have been ruined by the devastation of false accusation arising from recovered memory. The AFMA is a Registered Charity.
