Practical Support for What Comes After
From preparedness to recovery to remembrance—we help you build the capacity to navigate crisis and its aftermath.
The Aftermath Equation
Most organizations focus on the first two phases. We specialize in what comes next.
Preparedness
Building systems, training teams, and stress-testing plans before crisis hits.
Response
Immediate action during crisis—when everyone shows up and resources flow.
Recovery
The critical period when formal support drops but community needs remain high. Month 6 and beyond.
Remembrance
Active, ongoing healing work. Not just annual ceremonies—sustained support that honors what happened.
Foundational Training for Your Team
Build awareness and foundational skills before crisis hits. Our workshops come from the field, not textbooks—practical training your team will actually use.
The ROI: Build capacity before crisis—when training costs a fraction of recovery. Grant-eligible with full documentation provided.
Per Workshop
Workshops Include:
- Organizational Trauma & Grief Literacy
- The Recovery Timeline: Month 1, 6, 12, and Beyond
- Trauma-Informed Leadership Fundamentals
- Building a Recovery-Ready Culture
Format: Half-day or full-day sessions. Virtual or in-person. Includes materials, follow-up resources, and 30-day email support.
Deep-dive sessions that drive real change.
You’ll work directly with our principals over multiple sessions—assessing your situation, building frameworks, and leaving with actionable deliverables you can implement immediately.
A $15,000 preparedness investment can prevent a $500,000 recovery failure.
You'll leave with deliverables, not just notes. Each intensive combines education with hands-on implementation—so you're not just learning, you're building.

- Crisis Preparedness Assessment & Implementation

- Recovery Roadmap Development
- Remembrance Planning Workshop

How We Work With You
Frameworks that flex. Support that lasts.
Assessment First
Every engagement starts with understanding where you are. We don’t bring cookie-cutter solutions—we bring frameworks we adapt to your reality.
Implementation Focus
We’re not interested in delivering binders that collect dust. Everything we do is designed to be used, not just learned.
Capacity Building
Our goal is to make ourselves unnecessary. We build your team’s ability to handle this, so you’re not dependent on us forever.
Long-Term Availability
Recovery takes years, not months. We stay available for the questions that come up at Month 8 or Year 3—even after the formal engagement ends.
Questions We Hear
How is crisis recovery consulting different from what we can find for free?
Great question—and there are excellent free resources out there. We support that ecosystem ourselves.
Here's the difference: free resources are designed for general guidance. What we provide is customized to your specific situation, sustained over months or years, and delivered by practitioners who've supported 280+ communities through recovery.
We're not sure we can afford this right now. What are our options?
We hear this often—especially from organizations already stretched thin by crisis response.
Two things to know: First, we scope engagements to what's actually needed. A $5,000 workshop might be exactly right for where you are. Second, we reserve capacity each year for reduced-rate engagements with under-resourced communities.
The real question isn't the cost of support—it's the cost of not having it. Staff turnover alone after a crisis can run $50,000+ per person.
How quickly can you start working with us?
For urgent situations, we can often begin within days. For planned engagements, typical lead time is 2-4 weeks.
If you're currently in crisis, don't wait to reach out. Even a single consultation call can help you see the road ahead more clearly.
What makes Aftermath Solutions different from other crisis consultants?
Most crisis consultants focus on the immediate response—the first 72 hours. That's important work, and we respect the people who do it well.
Our specialty is different. We focus on Month 6 through Year 3+, when formal support has ended but community needs remain high. We call this the Recovery Gap.
Our team includes survivors of mass violence, federal consultants, and practitioners with 75+ combined years in the field. We've been where you might be going—and that changes how we show up.
Do we need to commit to a long-term contract?
No. We don't require long-term contracts for any tier of service.
Some organizations start with a single workshop and never need more. Others begin with an assessment and evolve into a retainer partnership. We meet you where you are.
Our goal is to build your capacity—not create dependency on us.
What should we expect from a consultation call?
A conversation, not a sales pitch.
We'll ask about your situation, share relevant experience from similar organizations, and recommend next steps—whether that involves working with us or not. Sometimes the best thing we can do is point you toward a free resource that fits your needs.
30 minutes. No pressure. Just clarity on what comes next.
Not Sure Which Service Fits?
