Support after suicide, or postvention, includes support and resources for people and communities who have been bereaved or impacted by suicide and suicidal behaviour. People bereaved or impacted by suicide are at higher risk of suicide themselves, and as such, postvention is in itself a form of suicide prevention.
This area of learning covers strategies, research and practices for those supporting bereaved and impacted individuals and communities, and can be specific to individual settings, such as schools, workplaces or community groups.
