abstract="TOPIC: While bereavement is considered by many to be among the most stressful life events, it becomes even more distressing when it is related to the suicide of a loved one. Further, the death of a parent is traumatic for anyone, but it may be especially intensified for young children. This points to a strong need for the recognition and treatment of psychiatric and social problems associated with childhood bereavement. PURPOSE AND SOURCES: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and present a synopsis of the psychosocial outcomes of childhood suicide survivor bereavement and outline communication issues that emerge when talking with young suicide survivors. CONCLUSIONS: A case is made to develop and test interventions designed to meet the mental health needs of this important group of individuals.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
