Research on Survivors of Suicide: Workshop Summary

When: May 13–14, 2003
Where: Bethesda, MD
Institute: National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

More than 29,000 people in the United States die by suicide every year, leaving behind thousands of loved ones. Referred to as survivors of suicide, family and friends grieving a suicide death often struggle with their own feelings in relation to the loss as well as the stigma that suicide confers. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and NIMH brought together a panel of scientists and clinicians on May 13–14, 2003, to participate in a workshop assessing existing research on suicide survivors, and to identify potential research areas so that survivors of suicide can be served effectively and appropriately. Workshop topics were selected after input from survivors of suicide.

Next Steps
Visit the NIMH's www.nimh.nih.gov/research/survivors.cfm for the workshop summary, with details on the six areas identified as significant gaps in research knowledge.
