Surviving Suicide

Surviving suicide is the process of recovering from the physical and psychological effects of a suicide attempt. It includes regaining a sense of purpose, meaning and connection to others, as well as regaining physical and mental health. Survivors often struggle with feelings of guilt, confusion, and a range isolation. Overcoming the trauma of suicide requires a combination of physical and mental health care, as well as strong social support. Studies have shown that people who survive suicide tend to have better overall mental health and social functioning than those who don't. By understanding the process of surviving suicide, we can better support and care for those affected by suicidal behavior.
