Abstract

Researched by numerous and distinct areas of Science, suicide continues to live up to the view of all those who see it as a highly complex event, for which there are no irrefutable answers or interpretations. In the world of Education, this subject has gained prominence due to the increasing number of initiatives and deaths resulting from suicide in the community composed of children and adolescents. Thus, through bibliographic research and literature review, the study in question established as its objective to support students, teachers, other collaborators and family members in confronting loss due to suicide, reducing the prospect of disturbances or longer-lasting impacts, in addition to making preventive processes available for future moments. The conduct or methodological procedure defined was of a qualitative nature, given the fact that such methodology will allow a better understanding of the obscurities related to events pertinent to Education. To this end, resources such as participant observation were used, in addition to semi-structured interviews, with the perspective of composing a broad and detailed image or vision of the situation under analysis. Thus, it is possible to conclude that postvention aims to act as a fundamental process that both serves to welcome those in mourning and supports the restructuring of the school atmosphere, opening space for communication, active listening and measures that strengthen the mental health of the community, preventing the occurrence of new similar circumstances, as well as collaborating in the structuring of protocols aimed at care and understanding.
