SANE Australia has developed bereavement guidelines
to help mental health professionals support the families and friends of
mentally ill people who have died by suicide. The guidelines were created after
research revealed that these families and friends were not receiving the support they needed, despite the fact that as a group they are at risk for health problems and
suicide themselves.
The guidelines were created for mental health nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists
and other mental health workers to use as a consistent approach to assist
bereaved families.
