One in four counselors and one in two psychiatrists will have a client die by suicide in their career. The impact is significant and contributes to a clinician’s ability to remain in the field. By exploring the symptoms experienced by therapists in response to a client suicide as well as strategies mental health leaders can adopt to help them heal, we can begin to eliminate confidential grief and can support more mental health professionals remaining in this industry after a client suicide occurs.
