Looking forward to virtually joining the VA North Texas providers today for Grand Rounds and a Workshop focused on postvention! Will be featuring @RMIRECC @USPVinfo resources, highlighting the role of postvention in prevention, provider suicide loss, postvention teams, and more!

So important to consider these two leadership "types" to ensure we are meeting the needs of those we are serving.

Really interesting research by one of my awesome lab mates @sdaruwala1. I like that this study not only looked at if participants knew someone who died by suicide but included how close they were with the individual.

Comprehensive #SuicidePrevention should include planning for #SuicidePostvention (starting a dialogue within your family, school, or organization; creating procedures in case #suicideloss touches your life; learning about local resources & support groups) #PostventionIsPrevention
