Undergraduates’ Experiences of Bereavement by Suicide with Lauren Stothard
- This event has passed.
Grief following a suicide is qualitatively different to grief following non-suicidal deaths, and this webinar will explore the lived experiences of individuals bereaved by suicide. As part of a postgraduate project, a qualitative study was conducted with twenty-two individuals who lost a loved one to suicide whilst studying as an undergraduate. A thematic analysis identified commonalities among these individuals’ experiences, which will be shared in this webinar.
Whilst the participants were undergraduates at the time of their loved one’s suicide, their experiences reflect that of those grieved by suicide more generally. Therefore, this webinar would be useful for anyone working with individuals affected by suicide, and suggestions for supporting these ‘suicide survivors’ will be made.
Please note that although this is an important area of research, it is a highly sensitive and emotive topic, and therefore may not be suitable for everyone.
If you are experiencing difficulties with your mental health please talk to someone.
