An Expert Interview on Student Suicide, Mental Health & Emotional First Aid | SipSci Lab
In India, more than 13,000 students die by suicide every year.
This is not a story of children giving up on life—it is a story of children trying to escape unbearable emotional pain.
In this in-depth expert interview, produced by SipSci Lab, we explore one of the most urgent yet under-discussed public health crises of our time: student mental health and suicide prevention.
Spanning 41 minutes, this conversation moves beyond statistics and headlines to examine why children are breaking silently—and what parents, teachers, and society can realistically do before a crisis point is reached.
What This Expert Conversation Focuses On
Through insights drawn from psychology, behavioural science, and lived experiences, the interview addresses:
Why suicide rates among students in India are rising
How emotional distress often hides behind “normal” behaviour
The early warning signs adults tend to overlook
How academic pressure, expectations, and comparison culture affect young minds
The role of social media in amplifying self-doubt and isolation
Why advice, discipline, or motivation often fail at critical moments
At the heart of this discussion is a powerful but simple idea:
Emotional First Aid—a basic life skill that can prevent emotional collapse long before medical or psychiatric intervention is needed.
What Is Emotional First Aid?
Emotional First Aid is not therapy.
It is not counselling jargon.
It is the ability to:
Listen without judgement
Recognise emotional pain early
Respond with presence instead of pressure
Create emotional safety at home and in school
The interview makes a strong case that suicide prevention does not begin in hospitals—it begins in everyday conversations.
Why This Interview Matters
This conversation is especially relevant for:
Parents who feel their child is “quietly struggling”
Teachers who notice behavioural changes but lack tools to respond
School leaders, counsellors, and education professionals
Anyone who believes mental health education must go beyond slogans
Rather than blaming families or institutions, the interview focuses on awareness, skill-building, and responsibility.
