SUMMARY:Introduction to Grief Support Series | Beyond Risk Factors and Warning Signs: An Introduction to Suicide
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of an ongoing series that will provide a foundation of introductory information for anyone working with or providing support to children\, teens\, and families who may be grieving. This series is not progressive; sessions can be viewed in any order. \nSuicidology has been a distinct discipline for over half a century\, yet suicide is still misunderstood as a symptom of psychiatric illness – treat the illness\, suicidality will go away. This has never worked and suicide rates\, particularly among Black youth in America\, continue to climb (Jackson-Lowman et al.\, 2023). This is partly because of European-based assumptions that suicide is a singular\, individual\, autonomous experience without connection to socio-cultural contexts or structural-historical forces (Button & Marsh\, 2020). Instead\, suicide is a “wicked problem” (Bryan\, 2021): highly complex and not easily addressed with solution-focused\, linear thinking. Grief after suicide has been underestimated in terms of the reach and impact on the bereaved. \nResearch has led to the construction of the Continuum Model of the Effects of Suicide Exposure (National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention\, 2015)\, illustrating that 115 people are exposed each time a suicide occurs\, and 63 of these will have high or very high closeness with the deceased. Those bereaved after suicide are often challenged by the “perceived intentionality” of the death and related “perceived responsibility” for the death (Jordan\, 2020). Research shows that lifetime suicide exposure is related to increased suicidal ideation\, PTS\, and anxiety (Andriessen et al.\, 2020). This presentation will go beyond risk factors and warning signs that lead to inaccurate presumptions about suicide. We will review theories of and best practices for addressing suicidal behavior\, framing suicidality as not just an individual act but something that has social determinants (Millner et al.\, 2020; Jackson-Lowman et al.\, 2023). We will address research about and best practices for suicide intervention\, postvention\, and supporting grievers after suicide. The presentation will offer special consideration of how children and teens are impacted\, what they worry about after a suicide death\, and ways to support them (Andriessen et al.\, 2020). \nThis playback is available to active NACG members only. \n \nMembers must be logged into the member portal to access the playback.

She is in the process of conducting research on death and funeral rituals among the Acholi and BaGanda peoples of Uganda\, and plans to expand this research to other low-income countries. She currently serves as a Thanatology Section Editor for the Routledge Online Resources: Death\, Dying\, and Bereavement\, and has published peer-reviewed articles\, book reviews\, book chapters\, and contributed to a range of projects as an author or reviewer. \nRebecca S.
