A customizable framework that organizations can complete before a loss occurs, so the people responsible for your team's care can lead with clarity and compassion instead of starting from scratch in the hardest moment. Includes a crisis response team roster with backups and contacts, phased action checklists covering the first 24 hours through the one-year anniversary, safe messaging guidance for suicide loss, a sample internal notification, a support resource directory, and an after-action review process.‍
