N2  - Postvention is the term used to describe a package of interventions designed for people affected by suicide. Inpatient suicides in Departments of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry are rare, but nevertheless constitute an immense burden to family members, friends, and fellow patients, as well as to medical staff members. Besides including an effective management of the acute crisis situation with well-defined communication rules, appropriate interaction with the bereaved, and prevention of copycat suicides in other patients, reliable guidelines for dealing with inpatient suicide must also contain a precise procedure on how to handle mental stress in physicians, psychotherapists, and other staff members. Furthermore, postvention should be an important part of the professional training of physicians as well as psychotherapists who work in child and adolescent psychiatry departments or outpatient clinics.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
