SOPRoxi: a research-intervention project for suicide survivors

Crisis. 2006;27(1):39-41. doi: 10.1027/0227-5910.27.1.39.

Abstract

In Italy, postvention models specifically designed for people surviving the suicide of a loved one are very scarce. The SOPRoxi project was developed to respond to this particular lack. By involving different professional and nonprofessional figures (GPs, mental health professionals, social workers, volunteers, etc), the SOPRoxi project aims to remove the stigma associated with this condition and to offer adequate, multifaceted help to survivors.
