    Student Support

As part of the University of Essex Suicide Prevention and Response Plan, we want to empower students to have potentially lifesaving conversations and support one another. 

We aim to increase awareness of suicide prevention and the resources available and encourage students to talk openly about how they are feeling and seek support. 

The workshop provided by Papyrus will cover the following topics:

  • To understand the prevalence and impact of suicide
  • To explore the language, and the challenges, when talking openly about suicide
  • To recognise the ‘signs’ that may indicate someone is having thoughts of suicide
  • To consider how we can all contribute to a suicide safer community

Each workshop has a capacity of 30 people so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Please book onto the event using EventBrite. The room will be circulated via email, prior to the event.

This event is open to University of Essex students only.

If this event is fully booked, please email studentsupport@essex.ac.uk to be added to our register for further dates.
