Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, University of Pittsburgh's Medical Center
While not campus-specific, this resource may be useful to campus personnel. This manual describes school-based postvention standards and procedures including informing and caring for students and faculty, communicating with the media, and considerations for holding memorials and other events at school. This manual also provides some concrete sample materials including a postvention implementation checklist, potential guidelines for student support meetings, and a sample screening protocol to identify students potentially at risk. This item can be ordered from U Pittsburgh for $10 at http://www.starcenter.pitt.edu/-OrderManuals/26/default.aspx.
