Life After Specialist Counselling
Specialist counselling can help families process the trauma and grief connected to a road traffic collision. Support is shaped around the needs of each family.
Support services
Our support is shaped around the needs of families affected by road traffic collisions. You do not need to know exactly what help you need before contacting us. We will listen first and help guide you towards the most appropriate support.
Life After is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. If you need urgent mental health support, contact Lifeline on 0808 808 8000 or Samaritans on 116 123.
