Information for students

Suicide is a tragedy. The loss of a life through suicide has a ripple effect on everyone that had a connection with the person who has died. It can affect the whole student community and beyond.

Contacting the school community

If a suspected suicide has affected the school community, you'll need to consider how to inform them. Our service can help with this, helping you to draft appropriate communications.

We offer a range of our courses in training venues across the country for organisations who don't need in-house training.

Understanding our services

Research shows the impact of Samaritans services for people in emotional distress.

Our report, Out of sight, out of mind: Why less well-off, middle-aged men don’t get the support they need, focuses on the lived experience of men.

Alcohol and suicide

There is a strong link between alcohol and suicide. We've explored this relationship with people who've experienced it themselves.
