| After a Suicide Attempt Suicidal thoughts or behaviours can throw an entire family into crisis. To help your son or daughter, you must first believe that what happened really was a suicide attempt. You need to work through your own reactions – shock, anger and helplessness - to be able to get and give your child the help they need. You and your family can get through this immediate crisis and make positive changes that will minimize the likelihood of another attempt or other suicidal behaviors. A safety plan, worked out by you, your child, and the treatment team, is essential after a suicide attempt. If your child has been hospitalized, the safety plan needs to be in place before discharge and all parts of it, including medications and professional treatment, clearly stated and understood by everyone. http://ww3.suicideinfo.ca/ForParents/AfteraSuicideAttempt/tabid/722/Default.aspx | |
