Abstract
Suicide is a common cause of preventable death worldwide and the student population represents a particularly high-risk group for the development of suicidal thoughts and behaviours. When an individual feels suicidal they often have the impression of being trapped with no option for escape. As a result, they feel that they cannot talk about these thoughts and often struggle to ask for help. Therefore, it is important that others start the conversation and offer support to these individuals. This article highlights the issue of suicide in university students and provides advice for those who may be worried about someone and unsure of how to start a conversation about suicide.
