Promoting Student Mental Health And Preventing Student Suicide
Jo Smith
At University of Worcester, we have pioneered collaborative approaches to promote student mental health and prevent suicide through a 'Suicide Safer Project' initiative. This includes an innovative student suicide prevention research programme with two
funded PhD studentships designed to provide invaluable insights to increaseknowledge and improve preventative actions and postvention support across the UK
Higher Education sector. One project, co-funded by James Wentworth-Stanley Memorial Fund is exploring student suicide data and prevention and response
strategies across UK Universities, whilst a second project is exploring ‘postvention’ strategies and how University staff cope and their support needs following a student
suicide.
