“…In their study, Trimble et al (2012) reported that their participants utilised community based interventions after the suicide such as support from their communities and support groups rather than from professional support. Clearly, some suicide survivors may prefer to access non-clinician or professional led sources of support, including their own social networks, self-help support groups, religion or spirituality (Klein & Alexander, 2003).…”

“…Studies involving suicide survivors who are not accessing recognised postvention support such as through on-line peer support, bereavement support groups for example is also necessary (Trimble, Hannigan, & Gaffney, 2012). Their experiences and expertise can inform more appropriate support for bereaved others, especially in early intervention support (McKinnon & Chonody, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, the distressing nature of suicide may make it difficult for the suicide survivor to discuss the death with people from their wider social network such as neighbours and community (Begley & Quayle, 2007). In some cases, suicide survivors may feel isolated when people from their social network and community who previously provided them with support, begin avoiding them or withdrawing from them leaving them feeling isolated (Trimble et al, (2012).…”

“…These networks can provide the bereaved individual with emotional and practical support after the suicide, especially soon after the suicide (Trimble et al, 2012). However, the difficulty arises when individuals do not have strong social support networks, in which case there is a demand for professional or community based bereavement services (Murphy, 2000).…”

“…It is thought that some clinicians fail to fully understand the process of suicide bereavement (Peters et al, 2013). The fear of being judged or stigmatised by health professionals can also prevent suicide survivors in accessing postvention support (Trimble, Hannigan & Gaffney, 2012).…”

Statistics indicate a projected increase in the number of suicides by those in receipt of mental health services in England. Research has also shown that the impact of suicide on individuals who have lost someone to suicide have an increased risk of poor physical and mental health, including a higher risk of suicidality. However, research within suicide bereavement is limited due to the lack of methodologically robust studies involving those bereaved through suicide. This paper will offer an overview of current debates in the suicide bereavement literature and discuss a forthcoming qualitative study that will examine the impact of suicide by those in receipt of mental health services on their families. The current research will utilise a constructivist grounded theory approach. Analysis of the data will include a process of coding and comparison, leading to theory generation. This study aims to contribute to knowledge of the impact of suicide on family members (where the deceased was in receipt of mental health services) and how to provide effective post-intervention support for these particular families.

Abstract. Background: There is limited research investigating the risks for young friends exposed to the suicide of peers. Aims: This study aimed to better understand the impact of suicide bereavement on rural young people. Method: Participants in this a mixed-method study were 18 young people who had been exposed to a friend's suicide and who resided in rural Australia. Quantitative data were analyzed with SPSS and qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Results: Participants reported high levels of depression, anxiety, and alcohol use. Key themes were communication about the death, responses to the death, and coping with the death. Young people identified as close friends with the person who died were at less risk of their own suicidal behavior, but demonstrated increased mental health concerns. More peripheral friends were identified at greater risk of suicide. Limitations: The limitations of the study were the purposeful sampling open to selection bias, lack of randomization, and results from one point in time. Conclusion: These findings support that guidelines and interventions following a youth suicide need to better target both the peripheral friends, owing to their greater suicide risk, and the closer friends, owing to other mental health concerns.
