Action Alliance Framework for Successful Messaging
The Framework is a research-based resource that outlines four key factors to consider when developing public messages about suicide:
- Strategy
- Safety
- Conveying a “Positive Narrative”
- Following applicable Guidelines.
The Framework was created by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention as part of its priority to change the public conversation about suicide.

HEMHA Postvention Guide
This resource is intended for use by colleges and universities that are affected by and/or want to be prepared for campus crises and campus deaths. Suicide postvention efforts address the need for predetermined strategies to effectively and sensitively respond to campus deaths after they occur. We believe that it is important to note that a good postvention plan can have a positive impact on prevention, as well. This resource defines specific areas of consideration and planning and offers suggestions for best practices. Planning and implementation of postvention efforts rely heavily on using an interdisciplinary approach that utilizes the skills and resources of administrators, practitioners and the greater campus community. These disciplines will ideally collaborate in the postvention planning and coordination, implementation of postvention efforts, clinical services, communication efforts, and
decisions about holding memorials and other related events with the goal of helping the community return to a normal routine.

POSTVENTION RESPONSE
This is one of two major objectives in the Follow Crisis Management Procedure Domain
Under this objective, schools may take the following action steps:
- Develop or refine a postvention protocol to be consistent with the HEMHA Postvention Guide.
- The postvention protocol should be easily accessible to relevant campus offices and staff. These offices might include:
- Counseling services
- Health services
- Dean of Students or V.P. of Student Affairs
- Residential Life
- Campus Security
- Legal Counsel
- Campus ministry
- The postvention plan should be reviewed/refined at least annually by all campus constituents who have a role in the postvention response.
