No words spoken or services provided can ever erase a tragedy. However, we firmly believe in the power that in-the-moment support, services and resources can hold for those struggling in the wake of a traumatic event.
UCF RESTORES is often asked to provide mental health support after a critical incident. We provide immediate peer support to agencies navigating line-of-duty deaths, officer-involved shootings, mass casualty events, and other traumatic incidents. We coordinate peers who understand operational realities alongside clinician-backed resources, delivering support that is both peer-driven and professionally grounded.
If you or someone you know is in need of professional clinical support following exposure to a traumatic event, please contact our team by phone at (407) 823-3910 or through our web-hosted inquiry portal.
Our team has developed a free, downloadable flier for community use after a traumatic event. The flier includes context on what people may feel or experience in the wake of a tragedy and actionable tips for individual recovery. Our brochure – In the Aftermath of Trauma – can be downloaded and printed here. The following templates may be edited to reflect your agency’s contact information to assist in local tragedies:
