A summary report is now available from a questionnaire on suicide bereavement services and support that was completed by U.S. crisis centers in January. Here is some background information about the questionnaire:
During late 2009 and early 2010, a number of advocates interested in providing better services for survivors of suicide loss ... independently approached the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline about the potential for the Lifeline network to help increase and improve outreach to survivors. As a result of those initial discussions and a desire to learn more about crisis centers’ experience in serving survivors, an independent work group ... formed to develop a questionnaire in order to assess:
The nature of calls from survivors to crisis centers
The scope of resources [and] materials currently offered by crisis centers to survivors
Crisis centers’ need and/or interest in receiving additional support for assisting survivors
