Aftercare
The other reason people in the kink world advocate for aftercare is to help support people in any hormonal drops that can occur after such an intimate or intense experience. When adrenaline, cortisol, or oxytocin levels surge, they will also drop. Some people may experience anxiety, shame, or mixed emotions afterward.

Some people assume that sexual aftercare starts after one or both parties orgasm. Orgasms do not have to be the focus of your sexual encounters, and they are not necessary before engaging in aftercare.
MissionOur goal is to train individuals, agencies, faith-based and community organizations to provide aftercare through an educational forum within their own counties. Train mentors to provide guidance, encouragement, coping and life coaching skills in collaboration with the Division of Adult Correction, Prisons, Chaplaincy Services support.
Aftercare is the period of supervision of juveniles once they complete their out-of-home programming and treatment and are returned to the community. The goal of the aftercare supervision program is to equip the juveniles with the ability to conduct himself/herself in a lawful manner and prepare them for discharge from the DOC.
The Juvenile Corrections Agent (JCA) develops an individualized aftercare contract. The contract is reviewed with the juvenile, their parent/guardian/caregiver and the facility treatment staff (if applicable). Each of the parties also signs the contract. The JCA implements the contract upon release from placement.
The JCA supervises the juvenile while on aftercare, ensuring that service referrals are effective, making and documenting contacts with the juvenile and any incidents involving failure to abide with conditions of the aftercare contract. The contacts may take place at home, in school, at the workplace or anywhere in the community.
Juveniles are committed to the DOC until age 21 or until discharge, as provided in SDCL 26-11A-5 and 26-11A-7. The actual length of commitment to DOC depends on several factors, including history of offenses, behavior of the juvenile while committed to DOC and successful completion of aftercare supervision levels.
Prior to a scene, different people will have different requirements to express during negotiations for aftercare. The amount and type of aftercare required will also likely vary with frequency of play, closeness of play partners, types of scenes, relationship dynamics, fantasy elements at play, intensity of the scene and the overall head space and physical well being of the bottom before, during and after the scene. Be sure to set any boundaries or requirements of aftercare on both sides as part of negotiations.
Aftercare is used primarily to not only ensure the partner feels safe and secure, but can also be a wonderful exercise for the aftercare provider as well, further, the nurturing and bonding that occurs helps to reduce the effects of or even eliminate Drop entirely for many individuals. For some, a lack of aftercare can be detrimental not only psychologically, but also physically.
After care will vary, sometimes drastically, between individuals and thus there is no one correct method of aftercare, nor necessarily an incorrect method either, however what is presented is a great template to use for a typical first time partner for a typical SM scene.
Tops may experience a level of drop as well as bottoms, though it is less common. Ultimately the top is still required to care for the bottom during aftercare and thus it is unwise that a top should not play harder than what would allow them to acceptably care for the bottom's condition. If this is a known disturbance to play/aftercare then a third party to provide aftercare should be arranged for.
Principles of aftercare are largely similar for tops as they are to bottoms as described above, though some principles may not apply or need to be creatively adapted. As with bottoms, specific desires and requirements will vary drastically between individuals. See also Dom Burnout.
Sometimes for one reason or another a top may not be able to commit large amounts of time to aftercare and a bottom may crave extensive time for this, sometimes even up to several hours of aftercare after an intense scene. Best Practices indicate it is important that a top generally spend the first five to fifteen minutes or so doing some form of aftercare in these circumstances so that an immediate feeling of abandonment does not set in, and that they have prenegotiated use of a babysitter before the scene. The babysitter will be an agreed upon person trusted by both parties to provide additional aftercare for the bottom once the top is required to leave.
To ensure the safety of everyone, the two will agree to a form of outreach as part of aftercare for the scene and during that outreach, report honorably and with integrity any abnormal deviations, bad moods/attitudes, feelings about the scene, misgivings about the scene, and anything else that might be relevant. This also helps with enhancing communication and trust between the two parties and avoid the pitfalls of poor communication or lack of communication after a scene that can lead to toxic gossip and character assassination.
Many do not wish to embrace typical aftercare methods. Some would prefer time alone, while others would prefer not be touched at all, and others would like some form of Humiliation or Degradation as aftercare to constitute part of their fantasy. There is no one right way to participate in aftercare, but it is important to negotiate aftercare well before a scene occurs to create mutually beneficial and consensual agreement about how aftercare is to take place.
The Models for Change initiative worked to develop better real-world models of aftercare throughout the project. Leaders in Pennsylvania focused on aftercare services, and worked to connect youth with the programs and services they need to adjust and succeed after leaving residential treatment. They integrated treatment plans with aftercare plans to assist youth in overcoming problems, building on their strengths, and acquiring essential living skills, and developed educational and employment programs to improve their life chances.
Through the coordination, planning, and delivery of essential programs and services, Models for Change developed models of aftercare that allow youth to make better choices and succeed. The tools, research, and innovations developed by Pennsylvania and other states working to improve aftercare services are available here.
The evolution of contact lens technology and clinical practice over the past three decades has been remarkable, with dramatic improvements in material biocompatibility, better lens designs and care systems, and more flexible and convenient modalities of wear. However, our approach to the aftercare examination has remained conservative, with the general modus operandi having not fully evolved from the difficult, early years of fitting non-regular replacement rigid and low water content hydrogel lenses. In this paper, we review current aftercare practice and in particular, the preferred frequency that lens wearers should return for routine visits and the appropriateness of regulations governing contact lens prescription expiry. Four key clinical reasons for conducting a routine aftercare visit are identified: preserving ocular health, maintaining good vision, optimising comfort and ensuring satisfactory lens fitting performance. Commercial reasons for conducting aftercare visits are also considered. A decision matrix is presented to help practitioners decide on an appropriate time interval between routine aftercare visits. The first aftercare visit should always take place within one to two weeks of lens dispensing. After this, the following time intervals between routine aftercare visits are advised as a general guideline: soft daily disposable, 24 months; soft daily reusable and rigid daily wear, 12 months; soft and rigid extended wear, six months. These aftercare visit frequencies may need to be adjusted when rapid rates of refractive change are anticipated, such as every six months during child/teenager myopic progression and every 12 months during the advancement of presbyopia. Numerous clinical caveats for varying these recommended aftercare frequencies are also discussed. Those new to lens wear should be seen within the first two months of lens dispensing. Regulatory authorities charged with the responsibility of stipulating the validity of a contact lens prescription should continue to allow optometrists to set an expiry date relevant to the circumstances of individual lens wearers.
AfterCare is launching with outreach to former Test & Trace COVID-19 cases who reported symptoms at the end of isolation through SMS text notification. Clients will be directed to the AfterCare website, nyc.gov/aftercare, where they can select the resources most relevant to their needs, and get connected. Resources and referrals will be updated on an ongoing basis.
