Development and Overview of a Hospital-Based PTSD Screening and Early Intervention Program for Gunshot Injury Survivors
Hospital-based early mental health interventions are growing in interest among researchers and policymakers given their potential to reach trauma-exposed populations with limited access to mental health services. This paper presents the conceptual framework for the RISE Program, a multidisciplinary, hospital-based early mental health intervention program for gunshot injury survivors. The RISE Program began as an academic-community partnership and…
Quantifying suicide risk in bereaved individuals
Suicide risk was most elevated in traumatic loss conditions, particularly homicide and suicide loss groups. Results inform assessment and intervention surrounding bereaved individuals and suggest that individuals experiencing specific types of traumatic loss (i.e., suicide and homicide loss) are at the highest suicide risk and therefore may warrant additional screening and clinical attention. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights res…
Interventions for adult survivors of intrafamilial homicide
Individuals bereaved by intrafamilial homicide, in which the perpetrator and decedent were both members of the same family, experience an elevated risk for risk for mental health complications. Given the contextual complexity of intrafamilial homicide (IFH) and the negative sequalae this form of loss can engender, psychological interventions may assist survivors with adjustment on a number of fronts. This scoping review therefore addresses an imp…
Evaluating skills for psychological recovery with gunshot injury survivors in a hospital-based early intervention program
016, symptoms. Outcomes did not vary as a function of either PTSD risk status or intervention delivery method (i.e., in-person, telehealth). These findings support the effectiveness and acceptability of SPR as an early intervention for gunshot injury survivors when delivered as part of a hospital-based early intervention program.

Understanding Black and African American Grief Following Inclusion of Prolonged Grief Disorder in the DSM-5-TR
Mental health attitudes, norms, beliefs, and experiences with care among young Black men
Tailored interventions are needed to promote engagement in mental health services among YBM, with strategies that recognize cultural contexts and ongoing needs for general well-being. Recommendations for providers and systems are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Disseminating early interventions for disaster mental health response using the Echo model
Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO)‐based telementoring was evaluated for disseminating early disaster interventions, Psychological First Aid (PFA) and Skills for Psychological Recovery (SPR), to school professionals throughout rural, disaster‐affected communities further affected by COVID‐19. PFA and SPR complemented their Multitiered System of Support: PFA complemented tier 1 (universal) and SPR tier 2 (targeted) prevention. We e…

Interventions for child and adolescent survivors of intrafamilial homicide
The nature of intrafamilial homicide is complex and traumatic. Child survivors are at significant risk for maladjustment, including negative psychological sequela, grief complications, and contextual challenges associated with the homicide. Thus, children may benefit from services addressing specific psychosocial challenges following intrafamilial homicide. In this paper, we review the literature to identify trauma- and grief-informed interventio…
Concurrent Treatment for PTSD and Prolonged Grief Disorder
This review gives an overview of treatments used to concurrently reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and prolonged grief disorder (PGD). For purposes of this review, emphasis is placed on locating and comparing literature on exposure- and nonexposure-based treatments. Across 14 studies, the overall findings suggest that treatments are generally effective in treating PTSD and PGD concurrently and that treatments incorporating e…
Development and psychometric validation of the Dying Imagery Scale-Revised
Survivors of sudden death losses frequently experience vivid imagery associated with the events surrounding their loved one's death. This paper describes the development and psychometric validation of the Dying Imagery Scale-Revised (DIS-R), a 15-item measure assessing three forms of death imagery, including Reenactment, Remorse, and Revenge imagery. The first study details the development of the DIS-R in a sample of suddenly bereaved college stu…
Novel Application of Skills for Psychological Recovery as an Early Intervention for Violent Loss
This article describes a novel application of Skills for Psychological Recovery (SPR)-a brief, early intervention developed by the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and the National Child Traumatic Stress Network-for families grieving the violent death of a loved one. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, SPR incorporates cognitive-behavioral skills-building modules to help survivors cope with trauma-related distress and po…
Module-based comprehensive approach for addressing heterogeneous mental health sequelae of violent loss survivors
Significant strides have been made in the trauma and grief fields to address the unique needs of those who have lost a loved one to violent death. Several treatment techniques have been found to be effective for symptoms of trauma and grief that are prevalent among violent loss survivors including restorative retelling and cognitive behavioral strategies. Current interventions either are tailored for a specific mental health problem or are more u…
Survivors’ perspectives on a modular approach to traumatic grief treatment
Understanding survivors' perspectives on treatment is important in a patient-centered approach to developing interventions for traumatic loss. Focus groups were conducted with 23 motor vehicle crash, suicide, and homicide survivors. Survivors' attitudes toward a modular treatment for traumatic loss were assessed. This study also sought to explore survivors' perspectives on the acceptability of existing evidence-based practice elements in the trea…
Introduction to the special section
Restorative Retelling is a structured, group-based intervention for violent loss survivors. Preliminary evidence supports the effectiveness of Restorative Retelling as a tertiary intervention for bereavement-related mental health problems. Providers delivering treatments like Restorative Retelling, however, should recognize that many survivors will likely encounter a number of barriers to care that can make engaging in structured, time-intensive …
Emotional security theory
There is a need for guiding theory to understand the experiences and outcomes of bereaved siblings, particularly from a family systems framework. The present study investigated the relevance of emotional security theory in a sample of 72 young adults who experienced sibling bereavement. We investigated (1) whether perceptions of prolonged parental grief predicted key aspects of emotional security (disengagement, preoccupation, and security), and …
Introduction to the special section
Survivors of sudden, traumatic death are at risk for a variety of bereavement-related mental health problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and prolonged grief disorder. Because these conditions often cooccur, traumatic grief interventions are generally designed to be transdiagnostic, integrative treatments that combine techniques designed to treat a wide range of mood and anxiety symptoms. In this special section, expert c…
Barriers to Care and Service Satisfaction Following Homicide Loss
Homicide survivors are at increased risk for mental health problems, including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and complicated grief. Therefore, improving access to community and mental health resources is critical for this population. The atuhors sought to examine barriers to accessing services and service satisfaction among 47 homicide survivors. Over half of the sample met criteria for a mental disorder, with depression being the mo…
Death Thoughts and Images in Treatment-Seekers After Violent Loss
Violent loss survivors often describe experiencing recurrent imagery about their loved one's death. The Death Imagery Scale assesses 5 kinds of imagery: reenactment, rescue, revenge, reunion, and remorse. We explored the frequency of these forms of imagery and their associations with PTSD, depression, and/or complicated grief (CG) among 130 treatment-seeking survivors who were, on average, 3.5 years postloss. Reenactment, rescue, and remorse imag…
