After a traumatic event, families can also be impacted at different levels and require post-immediate or longer-term care. The adaptation of these family care procedures carried out following the attacks of 2015-2016 in France, based on existing clinical arrangements, in a child psychiatry service associated with a medical-psychological emergency unit, is discussed via two clinical examples. These different modalities of follow-up, a family debriefing and a situation of mourning associated with a trauma insist on the necessity to consider the temporality of the follow-up, the use of different theoretical tools, as well as the importance given to rituals and family skills hard hit by the traumatic event.
