TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - A support group for people bereaved through suicide JO - Crisis A1 - Clark, S. E. A1 - Jones, H. E. A1 - Quinn, Kathleen A1 - Goldney, Robert D. A1 - Cooling, P. J. SP - 161 EP - 167 VL - 14 IS - 4 N2 - Although much research has been performed in recent years on the prevention of suicide, less attention has been focused on helping the persons left behind. This article outlines the history of establishing a support group for people who have been bereaved through suicide in an Australian city. It describes the difficulties in establishing the group, its structure, management, and helping functions, and the experiences gained from the initial 7 years of operation. The article has been written in response to requests from medical, social, and lay agencies for information in establishing similar support groups.
