Helping Survivors of Suicide: What Can You Do?
This guide can help you travel through the grief of a loved one and offers tips and resources for support during this painful time.
In the U.S., the majority of people who take their lives are working-aged people, and yet workplaces are often unprepared to deal with this crisis. Today the American Association of Suicidology and the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention announce the launch of a collaborative publication, in partnership with Crisis Care Network, and the Carson J Spencer Foundation entitled A Manager’s Guide to Suicide Postvention in the Workplace: 10 Action Steps for Dealing with the Aftermath of Suicide.
Discusses common experiences and reactions of those who have lost a loved one to suicide.
The SOS Handbook for Suicide Loss Survivors* is a pocket-sized, quick-reference booklet for suicide survivors. Written by fellow suicide loss survivor Jeffrey Jackson, the booklet is an easy read that offers insight and essential information covering common experiences by those impacted by suicide loss – from the emotional roller-coaster, to the elusive quest for “Why?” to how to supportive resources, and impactful topics related to one’s suicide grief and loss.
*A 2023 Revised edition is available now via the online storefront!
