MENUMENU
When an ambulance worker passes away, it can have a devastating impact on their colleagues, family, and friends. TASC’s bereavement support services can provide a helping hand during this very difficult and confusing time.
For many in the ambulance services, your colleagues are like your extended family, and when someone dies, it can have an enormous impact on everyone.
If your team has recently suffered a bereavement, TASC can provide a range of support, from providing information to arranging a tailored one-off counselling drop-in day in your local office or station.
Talk to us about supporting your team
TASC can provide information and advice to the close family members of ambulance staff who have passed away. We can also support the family members of staff who’ve recently left the service due to a terminal illness.
