Learning Thursdays: Postvention Response after an Overdose Death or Suicide

The term postvention is used to describe "appropriate and helpful acts that come after a dire event." With the increase in overdose deaths and suicide rates, it is essential for programs to have policies and procedures in place to ensure that staff have the support and resources available to cope with unexpected loss. Behavioral health administrators will discuss their experience with overdose deaths and suicide, it’s impact on the workforce, and the postvention protocols in their programs. 9/20/18
