Post-incident support

The Major Incident Response Team (MIRT) is here to offer support in the aftermath of a traumatic incident to help those who may have been affected by the event.

An incident may affect people in different ways, they may be survivors, relatives or friends of survivors or those who died in the event, or even those who are affected by images of the scene. 

MIRT provides a 24 hour service to provide practical and emotional support in the aftermath of a traumatic event. We are here to provide a listening ear, a friendly voice but most of all skilled and non-intrusive help when "normal" life is disrupted.

We are a statutory group made up of voluntary members, trained as a key part of North Yorkshire County Council and City of York's commitment to the personal and emotional Wellbeing of our community.

We respond to your individual needs and the service is confidential.

We work alongside other agencies to provide a comprehensive response to the needs of those affected by any emergency situation. The links below will take you to the sites of those organisations we commonly work with on a day to day basis.

If you think you might need to talk, or even if you are not sure, then please do not hesitate to contact us. Please use the link at the bottom of the page, and a member of MIRT will get in touch as soon as possible.
