The Car Accident Foundation gathers and shares lessons and wisdom from thousands of families who have suffered accidents and losses over the years and makes that learning available to families now recovering from an accident. By working to recognize and heal the invisible wounds of accidents, The Car Accident Foundation promotes peace of mind for families who suffer after traffic accidents. Helping Ourselves by helping Others Those who have been through accidents find that sharing their experience and wisdom with new accident survivors and families helps to cement their own recovery. The Foundation sponsors avenues for families to help each other. Every accident induces a natural process of reactions to the accident.
Most families endure traffic accidents in silence and isolation.
Ignorance and discomfort of others amplify the vacuum. Few provide solace or help. By bringing together survivors, families, and experts, Car Accident Workshops offer a unique occasion for comfort, recognition and healing. Other workshops offer the opportunity for insurance adjusters, or health care professionals to learn from survivors and families in a frank, safe and nurturing environment. Often the inspiration and learning of a workshop has led to the creation of an on-going support group.
