Does Berkeley have a suicide hotline? I think there needs to be be a well publicized number that a student in crisis could call.
Also, a campaign to familiarize people with subtle (and not so subtle) signs of possible impending suicide and how to respond, would be helpful. Students need to be encouraged to follow through if they suspect something is wrong, and not worry about appearing foolish. Much better to call to check on someone and find they’re ok, then to miss the person who really needs help.
