Islanders who feel they have been affected by the sinking of the L'Ecume II and the explosion at Haut du Mont are still being offered support.

The psychological support is there for anyone who needs it, including the families of the 13 victims who are living overseas.

Health checks have also been offered to people living within a 200-metre radius of the explosion site on Pier Road, residents of Haut du Mont, bereaved relatives and the first responders.

Services will continue into 2024, with long-term monitoring so the government can understand the full impact of last year's disasters.

Rachel Williams, who leads the coordination of health and wellbeing following major incidents, says many Islanders felt the effects of these incidents.

"Those who responded to the incidents may also continue to be impacted, and the incidents may have triggered past memories of trauma, loss or bereavement for some Islanders too."

The government says it understand the effects can continue for many years, whether that is mourning the loss of a loved one or recovering from losing homes and possessions.

Rachel claims the collective grief cannot be underestimated in our small and close community.

"If you feel that you need some additional support at this difficult time, please do reach out; we can help with advice, guidance, signposting to services, and we can also arrange specialist support for those who need it."
