De Leo Fund (non-profit organization), with support from the Veneto Region and the assistance of the Regional Transplant Center, has contributed to the creation of a regional network of professionals in the area of mental health formed specifically to assist and support the survivors of a traumatic death (accidents, suicides, murders, natural disasters). In June 2011, a toll free number has been opened. This, through a two-step procedure, collects the requests and needs of the survivor and send him/her to the professional geographically closer to him. This presentation deals with the main characteristics of these calls and users who contact the toll free number, and how the network responds to the needs of survivors of traumatic bereavement.

La De Leo Fund Onlus, con il sostegno della Regione Veneto e l’assistenza del Centro Regionale Trapianti, ha contribuito alla creazione di una rete regionale di professionisti, dell’area della salute mentale, formati ad hoc per accompagnare e sostenere i sopravvissuti ad una morte traumatica (incidenti, suicidi, omicidi, catastrofi naturali). Nel giugno 2011 è stato inaugurato un Numero Verde gestito da cinque operatori che, attraverso una procedura a due fasi, raccolgono le richieste e i bisogni del sopravvissuto e lo indirizzano al professionista appartenente alla rete e geograficamente più vicino a lui.Questa presentazione si occupa di descrivere le caratteristiche principali di queste chiamate e degli utenti che contattano il Numero Verde, e di come la rete risponde alle richieste dei sopravvissuti ad un lutto traumatico.
