ABSTRACT
The main focus of this study is to examine the the role of advice and counseling in the prevention of suicide in Nigeria using Udu Local Government in Delta State as case study. The study adopted a survey research design and with the aid of convenient sampling techniques, 147 participants who are couples residing in Lagos State was enrolled for the study. A well structured questionnaire was issued to the respondent of which a total of 141responses were received and validated for the study. Data was analyzed using simple percentage as well as frequencies and table.
Findings from the study revealed that 31.6% of secondary school student do in one occasion feel depressed, mentally drained and on the adverse wish to take their life, of which only 52.5% of the teachers and counselor are aware of this risk. Findings of the study further revealed that since only average percent of the counselor knows about the situation only 70.2% are willing to assist student get rid of this behaviour.
The findings further concludes that although the interactive approach of counselling would be helpful to student but education on suicide can help guidance counselors dispel these myths and better their position to help students at risk. The study therefore recommends that Schools should strive to form and sustain positive relationships with other community resources. Providing guidance counselors readily available agencies and services to contact is most beneficial when a student suicide threat or attempt is made. finally guidance counselors should take it upon themselves to increase their awareness of suicidal behaviour and crisis intervention procedures within their school.
