🎙️ The Hope Debrief – A Podcast for Suicide Bereavement Caretakers
A place where compassion meets conversation.
The Hope Debrief is a heartfelt and practical podcast created specifically for suicide bereavement caretakers—LOSS Team volunteers, clinicians, clergy, peer supporters, and anyone walking alongside those affected by suicide loss. Each episode features meaningful conversations with professionals, survivors, and advocates who bring their expertise and lived experience to the table.
Together, we explore a wide range of topics including:
• Suicide Loss Grief: Understanding the unique complexities of grief after suicide—and how to support others through it.
• Postvention Best Practices: Tools, strategies, and real-world experiences to help you respond compassionately and effectively in the aftermath of a suicide.
• The Realities of Death and Loss: Candid discussions on navigating tough conversations, rituals, and the emotional landscape of sudden traumatic loss.
• Self-Care for Caretakers: Because healing and hope start with us, too.
Whether you’re sitting with a newly bereaved family, leading a LOSS Team, or supporting suicide loss survivors in another way, The Hope Debrief offers insight, encouragement, and a sense of solidarity. You are not alone in this sacred work.
Tune in and take a breath—hope starts here.
