South Africa has the second highest suicide rate in the world and suicide has affected students within our university community.  Perhaps you know of someone who died by suicide or is struggling at the moment.   Perhaps you may be struggling.

There is a lot of stigma around mental health issues, including suicide and it can be hard to know what to do or how to reach out for help.
