Following a suicide, faith leaders are frequently sought to offer care and assistance to the deceased person's family, friends, and the broader community. As these leaders assist others along the complex grief journey after a suicide, they may encounter specific stressors and difficulties that impact their own well-being. The National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention's Video, Faith Leader's Guide to Self-Care After a Suicide emphasizes the significance of self-care for faith leaders and offers advice on how they can attend to their own well-being following a suicide.
