Summary/Abstract: With the growing interest in the suicide phenomenon, more and more information on intervention and social education has emerged over the past decades. A fuller understanding of the topic of self-destruction along with helping people in a suicidal crisis and their relatives may contribute to reducing the number of sudden deaths. Through a review of research and specialist literature, the work explains the phenomenon of suicide survivors and presents how suicide affects people in the suicide’s environment. Moreover, it distinguishes needs of suicide-bereaved families. It also emphasizes what forms of help may be effective for people who come into contact with suicide and deal with grief as a result of it.
