Pleased to share our new paper on #workplace #suicide exposure. Key findings: impact extends far beyond #bereavement and systemic shortcomings and gaps in mental health care systems contribute to further distress among workers @MyfMaple @sarahlwayland

A few years ago I teamed up w/ @SuicidePrevAU on a survey to better understand the impact of exposure to suicide finding this is a highly impactful experience and the impact reaches well beyond kin: https://t.co/S4Ehmt4lmz ping @rsanfordSW

@lmfrey If for no other reason, it's one more way for us to stay in constant contact with one another. 😂 #laurbecca4ever

@IncredibleHulko Thanks for sharing!

Such an important contribution to our expanding understanding of what it means to be impacted by suicide loss. Thank you, @HilaryCauser, for shining a light on the experiences of those who are often not included in the research. @MyfMaple @IJERPH_MDPI

[Rebecca Sanford @rsanfordSW]

@more_coral @sarahevictor @CASP_CA I absolutely agree! We definitely hope to include questions on attempt and ideation in the 12-month follow-up as it certainly provides a more robust picture of the depth and breadth of exposure to suicide (both self and others). Thanks so much for taking time to share.

[Rebecca Sanford @rsanfordSW]

So pleased to be working with @CASP_CA on this important study!
If you have been impacted by suicide, please consider sharing your experiences to help inform our advocacy work.

@more_coral @sarahevictor @CASP_CA Thanks so much for your feedback. As I'm sure you noticed, the survey was already quite lengthy, so we were hesitant to add additional questions regarding personal experiences with thoughts of suicide. There are a few questions about thoughts of suicide near the end and. . .

And we need to STOP framing suicide solely as a mental health issue. They intersect often, but they are not married. The only thing framing it this way is doing is othering people, and keeping the general public from acknowledging that this is a problem we’re all susceptible to.
