University of Nottingham Students Union Raising Awareness On Student Suicide
Members of the UONSU commented on the student suicide problem as follows: "We can no longer ignore the conversation of suicide and mental health; we must start talking about it and start to use our voices to make a change." Most universities choose not to publicise student death, so student suicide doesn't get enough coverage. Feel free to turn to the UONSU website for advice about personal health and well-being.
