“Postvention is to come after—that is, to do those things after the dire event has occurred that either (a) serve to mollify the after-effects of the event in the chief protagonist, specifically, to work with a person after [the person] has attempted suicide; or (b) deal with the inimical sequels in other persons affected by the event, for example, the family members of a [severely distressed] person or, in the case of a [death by] suicide, with the obvious mental health needs of the survivor-victims. I prefer ‘postvention’.” (Shneidman 1971, 452). Schneidman, Edwin S. “The Management of the Presuicidal, Suicidal, and Postsuicidal Patient .” Annals of Internal Medicine 75, no. 3 (1971): 441–58
