“Postvention” protocols are valuable tools for colleges dealing with a suicide. But not every university is as prepared as it should be when a tragedy occurs. What happens when a death by suicide occurs at a small, rural college campus that lacks the mental health infrastructure to support all the students gripped by grief, guilt or fear? In the past, those students might have been forced to navigate the aftermath all alone or draw on the surrounding community which might be constrained by its own mental health shortages. Now, however, the college can call the Jed Foundation (JED).
