The study seeks to examine the experiences of bereavement and recovery among family members and relatives of individuals with a history of suicidal behaviour in refugee settlements. The study will document risk and protective factors for suicide, coping strategies and resilience among survivors and (bereaved) family members, with the aim to improve suicide prevention and management in humanitarian settings.
