abstract="This article provides information about suicide in the African American community, suicide and families, and suicide interventions, particularly those with a family focus. A culturally informed postvention model, Healing and Understanding Grieving Suicide Survivors (HUGSS), is presented. The article provides a discussion of the rationale for a culturally informed postvention program for African American suicide survivors, a description of the program and its guiding theoretical framework (symbolic interactionism), and details of the manualized 10-session protocol. Special considerations for child survivors are highlighted. Practice, research, and policy implications of this work are offered. © 2009 American Psychological Association.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
