How to Talk to Families Who’ve Suffered a Loss by Suicide

A loss by suicide is like no other, and the grief can be especially traumatic. Given that many of these families feel intense shame and the uncomfortable nature of suicide, directors are often unsure of the right thing to do or say. This workshop offers guidance on supporting families who have suffered a loss by suicide and includes downloads and handouts for your staff and families.

Learning Outcomes

  • Suicide myths and truths
  • Scripts on the right thing to say or not say

  • Preventing compassion burnout
