Postvention--Supporting People After a Suicide Attempt or Death (Guide)

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. 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.
