Suicide: The Aftermath (4 CEs)
Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, and for every person who completes a suicide, there are at least six to 10 “survivors” who will grieve the consequences. Suicide can be a stigmatizing process, such that survivors may face blame and social exclusion, and may blame themselves for the death of their loved one. Their grief process may not be suited for typical grief counseling models, so therapists working with this population need to explore their own assumptions and traditional approaches to grief and loss.
