  1. “deaths” “lost life” the cornell paper doesnt even use the word “suicide”
    maybe that is part of the problem

  2. Maybe its students that miss the word on the title…
    That’s definitely part of the problem

  3. Dear Cornell Insider,
    Today I learned about the recent suicides at Cornell. In reading the comments of those remarking about these sad losses, I read the ubiquitous “why” — as to “why this could happen?” For anyone who may be interested in pursuing this question, I would like to offer my input. I am a therapist/ suicidologist who for the past 23 years have been working on the mental health unit of a public hospital in the Seattle area. During those two decades I have seen over 15,000 suicidal patients in 1:1 and group therapy process. Those patients have taught me a tremendous amount about what “drives” the suicidal impulse and ideation, none of which I have yet seen mentioned in reporting about these incidents. Two years ago, I & two colleagues were invited to present our findings before the National Health Service (NHS) of England before an audience of their Lead Psychologists in Essex. This Fall we are preparing for a return visit to the UK to present at the University of Suffolk. We have also been invited to present at the ASIST Conference in Cardiff, Wales. We would welcome sharing this information to any interested parties there at Cornell or within the extended community.
