F-PGT - Prolonged Grief Treatment for Families Affected by Suicide

Interested potential adult participants will first complete a preliminary screening conducted by phone or secure zoom. Eligible and interested families will meet with a study clinician to provide written informed consent and child assent to participate in a 2-step study process. Step 1 is baseline assessment and confirming study eligibility, and step 2 is Prolonged Grief Treatment for Families (F-PGT). Families who give consent will complete assessments to confirm eligibility for the study. Those who are not eligible will conclude their study participation. Eligible families will complete the remaining baseline assessments and proceed to step 2, treatment. F-PGT includes 16 virtual sessions where a therapist will meet with either the parent or child, or both. All sessions will be recorded to continue optimize the therapy. In addition, participants will complete regular assessments.
