Men and Suicide Bereavement Survey
to Inform New Grief Support Needs
Denver,
Colorado. October 14, 2013. The Carson
J Spencer Foundation and Unified Community Solutions are conducting an
exploratory survey to get a better sense of the experience of men who are
bereaved by suicide and the needs they may have in their grief.
To take
survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MenBereavement
Men who have been bereaved by suicide are invited to participate in a
survey to share about their experiences subsequent to their loss. If you are a
man 19 or older and have lost someone close to you to suicide (e.g., family
member, close friend, co-worker, etc.), your participation in the study is
needed. The purpose of this survey is to better understand the experiences men
have after suicide loss and the types of support they have found helpful or
would like to have available. All
responses will be anonymous and confidential. The study should take no more
than 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and you can opt out of the survey at any
time. There is no compensation available for the completion of the survey, but
we appreciate men bereaved by suicide taking the time to tell us about their
experiences.
In addition, if you are connected to other men who have been bereaved by
suicide, we ask for your support in passing along this request to them.
For more information about this survey, please contact Dr. Sally
Spencer-Thomas at 720-244-6535 or Sally@CarsonJSpencer.org. Thank you in
advance for your time and consideration.
