What is Critical Incident Debriefing (CID), and why is it used in school systems following a suicide?

What will be an ideal response?

CID is a strategy that brings together people who have been exposed to a common trauma: in this case, suicide of a peer. The CID process involves members of the group discussing their reactions and feelings about the incident. It allows for ventilation of emotions, identification of peers-at-risk, and the dissemination of information and resources. Youth are at particular risk following these incidents given elements of our culture such as suicide pacts, portrayal of victims as heroes, suicide clusters, and how-to suicide internet sites and suicide-encouraging support groups.
