Suicide Bereavement is a significant clinical risk factor. Psychologists are increasingly called upon to support individuals and families impacted by suicide loss — yet many of us have not received formal training specific to suicide bereavement.

This isn’t just grief. Exposure to suicide is a significant clinical risk factor, linked to:

• More intense and persistent grief responses

• PTSD

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Somatic symptoms

• Non-suicidal self-injury

• Suicidal ideation and behavior, including death by suicide

• All-cause mortality

• Reduced social support

  
  

Among adolescents, the risks also include:

• Alcohol misuse and abuse

• Teenage pregnancy

• High school drop-out

• Lower lifetime earning potential

  
  

As psychologists, we must be prepared to assess, support, and treat survivors of suicide loss with the same urgency and skill we bring to other high-risk clinical presentations.

Walk away from this training better able to:

1. Recognize and respond to complex grief reactions and co-occurring trauma

2. Apply suicide postvention skills

3. Address stigma, trauma, and risk in loss survivors of all ages
