Current project

Suicide exposure and the emotional impacts on first responders and clinicians

My PhD research investigates the reactions and emotional impacts of mental health professionals and first responders who deal with suicidal behaviours during their occupational duties. I am particularly interested in the impact of patient suicides on mental health clinicians.
