Pilot Friend
The AFAP used to have members nominated as pilot friends. They were trained by the AFAP and not only served to help the pilot/s involved in an incident to come to terms to what happened but also to act as a buffer between the pilot/s and media, employer and investigators etc. I did this once with a fellow that was captain of an aircraft that was written off but recovered intact. It was not his fault. I went with him to an interview with the operator and as he felt comfortable that he was OK he decided he didn't need me with a consequent interview with the customer. I insisted on accompanying him but as the call was his he ended up going by himself. The customer was looking for blood, got together with the employer and hung him out to dry. He was unemployed for 3 years until an independent investigation of his and other similar accidents vindicated him.
Even if he is not an AFAP member I would encourage him to contact them and ask for assistance.
