Postvention guide for CAF leadership.: D2-618/2026E-PDF

"Suicide prevention is a major public health priority for the Government of Canada. The Joint Suicide Prevention Strategy (JSPS) was implemented as part of the Strong, Secure, Engaged Defence Policy of 2017. The JSPS addresses the unique stressors on members and their families created by military service, both during and after their years served using a framework focused on preventing suicide across the entire military and Veteran community. Due to the unique nature of each organization, both the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) created independent Action Plans to address suicide prevention. The CAF Suicide Prevention Action Plan (SPAP) is the CAF specific plan. … Providing guidance to CAF leadership on Suicide Prevention, Intervention and Postvention is a priority for SPAP. This guide will provide guidance to leadership at all levels on issues of Postvention (the response following a suicide). Guidance on suicide prevention and intervention is provided in the Suicide Prevention and Intervention Guide for CAF Leadership"--Introduction, page 3.
