The 4 Phases of Suicide Loss

This 2-hour masterclass delves into Tracy Oeser's methodology of the phases a survivor of suicide loss experiences during their grief process. The following phases are covered:

• Devastation
• Question & Grow
• Holding Steady
• Acceptance

This concept has been called revolutionary in the field of postvention. Instead of the stages of grief, these phases of suicide loss are a way to accurately define the myriads of complex nuances this type of complex loss brings.

You will learn in this webinar:

1. The reasons for guilt, shame, blame, anger and other emotions
2. The role stigma plays in healing
3. The effects of brain fog
4. The impact of family and social dynamics
5. Options for support of loss survivors in various stages of their grief and healing

• When was the last time you felt unqualified to support a client through suicide loss?

• When was the last time you felt ashamed to admit you had been exposed to a loss due to suicide?

• Do people use the word "postvention" and you don't know what that is?

Then you need to attend this new class which gives the overview of postvention. Learn about the history of postvention. Learn the statistics that give a picture of the plight felt by those impacted by suicide loss. 

This webinar will give you:

1. Visibility of what suicide loss survivors are saying when they come out of your sessions and, what you wish they knew.
2. Three ways to eliminate fear when faced with suicide loss.
3. Tools that can help you know what to say and not to say.
4. The resources available that you can share with others who need them the most.

 
Tracy Oeser approaches this subject with candor and real-world appropriate language. After the loss of her daughter to suicide, she created Postvention Collective as an educational platform for those who need a true representation of suicide loss from a lived experience perspective.

Tracy always says, if we keep approaching loss in the same ways we always have, we can't improve. We need to understand our shortcomings, ask questions and hold conversations in order to reduce the number of people affected.
