Drivers Support

Drivers’ experience of road trauma has some unique qualities. You may be coming to terms with the fact that a person has been injured or died. You may be awaiting the outcome of a police investigation and court process.

The Road Trauma Support Team is able to provide support to drivers involved in traumatic collisions.

Bereavement

The process of grieving after being bereaved can be a long and isolating journey. Meeting other people who have been bereaved as a result of a road trauma can provide you with the opportunity to hear others peoples’ experiences and contribute your own.
