- Q&A
- Are people outside of Clackamas County able to use this resource? If the death occurred in Clackamas County we will reach out to those affected by the death regardless of location.
- What happens if the death occurs outside of Clackamas County but our community members are affected? We will still reach out.
- Is this program at future risk with the current administration cuts? No, it is legally required for counties to follow up and provide Postvention for every death by suicide for youth under the age of 24.
- Have you done outreach to affected individuals much later after the occurrence? When we call initially, we ask if it is okay to call them back in a few months to check in. We make sure it is the same person reaching out, thoughtful follow ups (anniversaries, birthdays, ect.)
