abstract="Trauma occurs in our schools; suicide is one such event. Postvention deals with the traumatic aftereffects in survivors. It involves offering mental health services to the bereaved survivors. School systems are an especially critical force in these endeavors. Strategies include consultation, crisis intervention, community linkage, assessment and counselling, education, liaison with the media, and follow-up. An outline of this type of prevention (within a framework of prevention/intervention/postvention) is provided with illustration of three cases: a suicide, a school bus accident, and a crossing-guard incident.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
