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.
