Health Comm Suicide Prevention Campaign

Suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst college students. Data shows that international college students rank highly compared to other demographic groups on campus.

Universities such as SUNY Buffalo located in Western NY have large international student populations. International students account for 15% of the student body or 4,363 out of 28,192 students. Culture shock, academic pressure and lack of social ties may contribute to depression for students who are new to the United States.

Depression is the leading cause of suicidal behavior. We encourage students who suffer from depression to seek social support through on campus activities and clubs. Meeting individuals who share the same interests, decreases depression and promotes a healthy lifestyle.


If you or someone you know needs help regarding depression and suicidal behavior: Please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at
1-800-273-LIFE.

suicide prevention doesnt help suicidal people. these people either need their life fixed or their physiology. right now my 2 year gf left me for another man. she told me she was going to be with me forever and that i was the most amazing person she had ever met, that i was her universe and that all she needed was me. i have been quasi-autistic and with major depression for almost a decade but she preferred to have fun and ignore how much i need her. taking my gun away wont make me feel better
