Understanding Suicide \u2013 What We Discussed at NMIMS<\/strong>
On Monday, September 9th, at NMIMS University’s Mumbai campus, we partnered with the psychology committee to raise awareness about suicide prevention. Our goal was to engage students in an open, stigma-free conversation around mental health. Here\u2019s what we covered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Planning:<\/strong> Steps that individuals can take to safeguard themselves or a loved one from harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevention Strategies:<\/strong> How to create a supportive environment, where people feel comfortable seeking help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
