'''Aftercare''' is methods to the take care of the participants of a larp after it is over and maybe even during play in [[act structure|act]] breaks.
The idea behind aftercare is to help players move from the mindset of the character back into real life in a safe way that helps them process game experiences constructively.
One of the main issues arising after games is bleed-out, where the player retains emotional aspects of the game experience after returning to real life. With proper aftercare it's possible to encourage positive carry-over and diminish the negative, as well as make players aware of the nature of these feelings and how to cope with them.
