Preventing the second tragedy

When a child dies suddenly and unexpectedly, families are struck by two tragedies: the loss itself, and the absence of effective support in the aftermath.

One we can't always prevent. The other we're working to change.

TwoTimesTragedy is a collective of parents, scientists, charities, policymakers, and change-makers working together to find evidence-based solutions to improve the national standard of support for families after a child dies suddenly.

The sudden, unexpected death of a child is a ripple effect of painful devastation for families, health professionals and entire communities.

How do we, as a society, support them during this catostrophic time?

We partner with leading universities and research bodies using collaborative science to develop a revolutionary response to the overlooked challenges of care for those left behind.

Our network of dedicated professionals is actively building the case for what grieving families truly need and how national systems should effectively address them.
