After A Suicide: A Guide for Veterinary Workplaces provides guidance in the event of a death by suicide of an employee within a veterinary practice, hospital, or veterinary organization. This guide provides information and resources to help veterinary work settings in the aftermath of an employee suicide, including strategies for helping the workplace and community to grieve and to organize and manage the key steps of crisis response, communication, and next steps for prevention. This guide was created by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) in partnership with the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA), Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA), and the Veterinary Medical Association Executives (VMAE).
