Background: International Survivors of Suicide Day, promoted by American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), is a day of healing for bereavement after suicide.Until 2009, there was not any activity on International Survivors of Suicide Day in Taiwan.On November 20, 2010, Suicide Prevention Centre of Mackay Memorial Hospital (SPC-MMH) connected with AFSP to hold the public activities to wake up the public sense to suicide loss.Methods: Suicide Prevention Centre of Mackay Memorial Hospital held a symposium to discuss suicide prevention and survivors of suicide in the afternoon on November 20, 2010.At that night, SPC-MMH obtained the right of public broadcasting from the film company to broadcast the Japanese movie Sand Chronicles at the auditorium of hospital.Following the movie, all audiences shared their viewpoints in a 30-min discussion forum.Results: There were 70 participants to attend the afternoon symposium and 153 audiences to watch the movie and the discussion forum at night.On the discussion forum, many audiences explored their roles as survivors of suicide and expressed their grief about suicide loss.Conclusion: Either the academic symposium or the movie broadcasting were good methods to wake up the consciousness to pay attention about survivors of suicide loss.In future, we should promote the International Survivors of Suicide Day with diverse ways.
