Re: Topic Tuesday // Supporting someone after a suicide attempt // 28 Nov. 7pm - 9pm AEDT
@Former-Member @UNE Thank you
To summarise my feelings, when an attempt happens there is a complexity of emotions based upon our own life experiences, the nature of the MI of our loved one and that there is a need for the treating teams to acknowledge the carer and the emotions they must be experiencing, ciommunicate with them appropriately and direct them to appropriate supports. The carer must be included in discharge planning if they are to be part of the process.
There are shared feelings that we have and these are addressed in post suicideattempt information readily available on the internet (although a lot of it did not apply to our situation as Mr D in hospital for 4 months post attempt)

HI Ann6, I have to totally agree with you. After my sisters attempts I spoke with her GP, got shut down by confidentiality. My sister has hidden her attempts. I was so desperate to help. the only time we got honesty from a health professional was when I got in tears on the phone 700klms away to say she was missing and not answering her phone! The health professionals need to be allowed to talk to a nominated 1-2 family members.
