Abstract
This work examines the parental role in curbing suicidal actions in tertiary institutes in Nigeria, a case study of Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture, Abia State. Three research objectives and hypothesis were formulated to give direction to the search of information. A descriptive survey research design was adopted and the sample size were 222 students who were regular undergraduate students in the university. The parents has a major role to play in curbing suicide among university students, although there may be some challenges that will deter the possibility of parents playing that role. Thus the findings shows that; there is a significant relationship between parental role and youth development, there is a significant relationship between parental guidance and counselling and prevention of suicide in Nigeria and there is a significant relationship between the parental guidance and counselling services and youths in Nigeria. Since suicide is a social-health problem, therefore parents should be educated on the causes of suicidal behaviours, the stigma of suicide victims, and the need for effective reporting of suicidal cases. This will help in formulating a blue print for preventive intervention strategies and service delivery in Nigeria, and effective reporting of suicide cases without molestations. The parents should be involved in teaching of suicide education and prevention. For this to be meaningful, suicide education should be capable of loading its contents with topics such as signs, myths and facts about suicide, factors associated with suicide and the possible ways of helping the suicidal persons.
