What Is Workplace Postvention?

Postvention refers to the planned support provided to individuals and teams impacted by a death due to suicide. For many organizations, especially those supporting high-risk or vulnerable populations, suicide loss is not just tragic — it can also be traumatic. Yet, most workplaces are not prepared.

In this episode, I chat with Alison Clements, a psychologist in private practice and Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia. Alison has spent the last six years partnering with 22 diverse workplaces from teams of 100 to 57,000, to co-design tailored postvention toolkits. Her internationally published model is now being adapted for major institutions, such as the UK National Health Service.
