Mission

It is the mission of ACCESS to facilitate the grieving process of people who have been affected by or involved in air disaster-related tragedies by partnering them with volunteers who have been through similar losses years earlier. ACCESS is a non-profit, non-denominational, non-political organization available for on-going, long-term grief support. In addition to emotional support, ACCESS provides information about other organizations and their roles in the aftermath of a crash, helping those in crisis become aware of the resources available to them.

Through the ACCESS support system and referral services, we help individuals to overcome the feelings of hopelessness, isolation, despair, and confusion that often follow an air disaster. Our goal is to help the bereaved gain renewed strength, hope, and purpose -- enabling them to cope with the present and prepare for the future.
