In the hours, days, weeks following the sudden death of a student or staff member, there are many questions and usually few answers. The entire school and larger community are affected. Teachers, principals, and others in charge of responding and leading the school are struggling and grieving, too. They need considerable support and guidance during this difficult time. Upon request from a school principal or superintendent, the Postvention Team, a highly trained group of professional and community volunteers, is activated. We support school faculty to create a plan of action, facilitate on-site grief support for affected students and staff and offer ongoing resources for the entire school community.
