POSTVENTION SUPPORT

When suicide has occurred, we will deliver guidance on how best to support employees affected and create a postvention strategy to support your management of the crisis.

​

If appropriate, we will facilitate a postvention support session(s) in your workplace to provide emotional support, guidance, and resources to those affected by the loss. These sessions aim to help individuals process grief, reduce distress, and prevent further crises.
