Mission
Our goal is to unite those affected by road trauma and provide a safe, supportive and creative online space in which they can express themselves, move through the grieving process, share their stories and develop resilience. In doing so, the site will become a resource that can be used to educate the public about road safety.
The objectives of Journey Beyond Road Trauma are to:
- Create a space where those affected by road trauma can find understanding and empathy, a social network of support, a way to connect, a place to remember and tools to be positive and proactive
- Harness the power of the personal story and use it to educate others about safe driving practices and increase the safety on our roads
- Give community members a platform to conduct their own road safety campaigns and as a community collectively work together to make sure our roads are safer so this doesn't happen to someone else
- With the permission of the community member who has created the content, deliver stories from this website across other platforms to serve to increase the public's awareness of the effects of road trauma
- Complement the activities of existing road trauma groups and initiatives and connect people with services in their local area
- Create a brand that is synonymous with efforts to support people affected by road trauma in the same way the 'Pink Ribbon' now instantly represents support for women living with breast cancer.
