One of the most common worries for mental health clinicians is the fear of losing a client to death by suicide. Yet, formal instruction around suicide and postvention - a term referring to activities that reduce risk and promote healing after being impacted by a suicide loss - continues to receive little attention in formal graduate training. This training will review literature on best practices related to postvention intervention, focusing on frameworks for effective communication, proactive postvention, and support for colleagues and families involved. This training is intended to serve as a way to increase community collaboration and move towards shared wisdom and coping with regards to difficult aspects of providing mental health services.
