Tony’s story

Talking can be a lifesaver

Where else can I go for support and information?

If there's been an incident at your university, it can be hard to know where you can for support and information. Samaritans are here to support you, and signpost to other helpful sources.

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.
