When tragedy strikes, informed, compassionate leadership can make all the difference. The “Postvention Guide for CAF Leadership” is a comprehensive resource from the Department of National Defence, designed to help Canadian Armed Forces leaders respond effectively after a suicide or suicide attempt within their ranks. This guide explains the principles of postvention, offers practical steps for supporting affected individuals and units, and emphasizes the importance of compassionate communication, privacy, and ongoing support. Leaders at all levels will find actionable advice for navigating notification, supporting survivors, and fostering resilience in the face of loss, ensuring that no one faces the aftermath alone. The guide also includes recommended language to reduce stigma, outlines key leadership actions, and provides links to support services and resources for both Regular and Reserve Force members. The guide is available as a webpage and a downloadable PDF resource.
