Supporting Behavioral Health Providers: Creating Postvention Strategies for Healing After Losing a Client to Suicide or Overdose

This recorded presentation combines a film screening with guided discussion to explore the shared emotional, professional, and systemic impacts of losing a client to suicide or an opioid overdose. Adapted from materials developed by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC), the session provides behavioral health providers and administrators with practical postvention strategies to support healing, resilience, and professional recovery following client loss.

Through brief video segments and facilitated dialogue, participants will examine the parallels between suicide loss and overdose loss, discuss evidence-informed postvention strategies, and share experiences from the field. The event will also highlight clinical and community resources available through the Nevada Opioid Center of Excellence (NOCE) and SPRC to help providers and organizations respond with compassion, structure, and self-awareness in the aftermath of loss.

CALM: Counseling on Access to Lethal Means

Reducing access to lethal means, such as firearms and medication, can determine whether a person at risk for suicide lives or dies. This free online course focuses on how to reduce access to the methods people use to kill themselves. It covers how to: (1) identify people who could benefit from lethal means counseling, (2) ask about their access to lethal methods, and (3) work with them—and their families—to reduce access.
