Self-Help Resources
If you have either 'blown the whistle' (and are suffering the consequences) or would like to blow the whistle (if you could cope with the consequences), there are many sources of good information to guide you. Here are some of the best places to start.
Workplace Bullying and Mobbing
External Resources for Whistleblowers
Help for Individuals
This website is intended to provide as much self-help material as possible. We try to offer a sympathetic ear to those who contact us and we can sometimes offer information or suggestions. However, FAIR does not have the resources to provide significant personal help to individuals: our first priority is to establish a legal framework that will enable all Canadian whistleblowers to protect themselves.
Guidance for Activists
Many whistleblowers become committed activists, by continuing to pursue their own cause, or by getting involved in helping others -- which can be very therapeutic. But being an activist can also become an all-consuming obsession, leading to isolation, depression and even suicide. Frank Faulk's CBC Radio documentary "Burning Bright" is a cautionary tale about activist burnout, and provides wise counsel. Highly recommended.
