Self-Injury and Postvention: Responding to the Family in Crisis
Trepal, Heather C.; Wester, Kelly L.; MacDonald, Colleen A.
Family Journal: Counseling and Therapy for Couples & Families, v14 n4 p342-348 2006
Postvention actions are commonly employed after completed suicides and suicide attempts but can be adapted to assist affected family members in dealing with other types of crisis. The authors adapt a postvention model to be applied to systemically working with families who have a member engaging in self-injurious behavior. Recommendations for counselors who work with youth who self-injure and their families are provided.
