Postvention--Supporting People After a Suicide Attempt or Death (Guide)
Together to Live by the
Centre for Suicide Prevention has created an online guide,
Postvention--Supporting People After a Suicide Attempt to Death, as a resource to assist communities in developing a suicide postvention response to prevent further suicides or attempts from occurring. This online resource contains planning guides, real community stories, evidence-based information, and resources to assist communities in preventing suicide through prevention, intervention and postvention actions.
Why postvention? People who have been exposed to suicide are at greater risk of suicide themselves – this is why ensuring they receive the proper care after a suicide death or attempt is critical.
