For the Suicide Attempt Survivor and Family of Survivors
A Handbook for Recovery after a Suicide Attempt. “This booklet is a guide to help you take the first steps toward recovery after your suicide attempt. The tools and stories it contains come from the experiences of others, some named, some anonymous, who have survived a suicide attempt. It is our hope that their experiences can help you keep yourself safe, develop hope, and, most importantly, remind you that you are not alone.”
A Guide for Family Members after a Suicide Attempt. “Suicidal thoughts and actions generate conflicting feelings in family members who love the person who wishes to take his or her own life. That is why this guide was developed for you. It will give you some important points on how to take care of yourself and your family member following a suicide attempt and it will provide resources to help you move forward.”
National Day of Prayer, Hope & Life. It is also important to remember to keep those people whose lives have been touched by a suicide attempt or a suicide loss in your thoughts and prayers. FYI, Researcher, Dr. Sawssan Ahmed participated in 2017’s National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention day of prayer.
