Responding to a Suicide: Postvention Guidance for Student Housing Managers

For off-campus student housing managers, handling the sudden and tragic loss of a resident in a community is likely one of the most difficult experiences they will encounter in their roles. 

The Jed Foundation (JED), in partnership with the College Student Mental Wellness Advocacy Coalition and Hi, How Are You Project (HHAYP), created a guidebook to help. The resource gives student housing managers a greater understanding of this difficult topic and clear direction on each step of a postvention response, including specific steps to take in the immediate aftermath of a suicide, which both support and protect other community members.
