<h1>University seminar highlights duty of care, compliance and risk management for student mental health to prevent youth suicides</h1> A university and its affiliated group held a seminar on World Suicide Prevention Day addressing rising youth suicides and mental-health drivers such as academic pressure, unemployment and financial stress. Legally, the event underscores institutional obligations to student welfare and potential duty-of-care exposures if inadequate mental-health support contributes to harm; compliance with applicable educational, health and data-privacy regulations for counseling services; and risk-management duties to train staff, document interventions, and implement accessible grievance and referral mechanisms. Proactive policy adoption, timely counseling, family engagement and clear reporting protocols can mitigate liability and regulatory risk.
