Clinician Survivors of Suicide Loss

Information and Resources

Picture



UW CSPAR's Jeffrey Sung, MD has a narrated slide show video that reviews experiences that come up for clinician survivors of suicide loss - the frequency of this occurrence, the impact, emotions, roles & responsibilities and needs for coping.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qguUTy9uJ-8




Dr. Sung has also developed Guidelines for Individual Practitioners intended to help identify immediate responsibilities and potential resources and sources of support following a client suicide and Guidelines for Agency Practices Responding to Client Suicide designed to increase
knowledge of immediate responsibilities, potential resources, and sources of support in the aftermath of a client suicide.

VHA Uniting for Suicide Postvention has a great set of postvention resources that address different aspects of the experience, including support for clinicians.  The section for clinicians includes podcasts, videos and links to resources.

This article by Quyyam, et al. includes a helpful organization of ways to support trainees after a patient suicide.  These strategies can also be applied to organize self-care.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40596-020-01395-7 

This article by Valente is a rare example of direct questions to guide how a clinician can engage in self-care following a patient suicide.

This article by Griffith & Gaby outlines a framework for demoralization and then includes questions that can guide a restoration of morale in the face of painful circumstances.  This framework and set of questions can be well applied to managing an experience of patient suicide.
