This study will enhance scientific understanding by examining how adolescents experience grief after suicide loss and identifying which components of bereavement interventions are most effective for this age group. It will improve societal welfare by informing the development of targeted, evidence-based support programs that address the unique mental health needs of bereaved adolescents. Long-term, the findings may reduce the risk of complicated grief and suicidality, support emotional resilience, and guide best practices in schools, clinics, and community settings for supporting youth after traumatic loss.
