[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current student here, class of 2025. I am trying to gather more information as time goes by but it is heartbreaking. Justin Lim '25 and Jazz Chang '23 passed away in the same week (mental health). Jaqueline Gonzalez '25 passed away due to a prolonged illness. Misrach Ewunetie '24 passed away by suicide, similarly to grad student Maura Coursey. They both used pills and one was deemed an "accidental" due to mixed drug toxicity. Sophia Jones '27 as well by suicide. James Li '27 we are not sure yet. James' brother incent Li, died by suicide when he was struck by a train in 2017. What I can say is, Princeton is difficult and there is not a lot of talk about it. We are expected to know, to learn, and to succeed. It sucks to have these vague emails about someone's passing and no acknowledgment that there is a mental health epidemic we need to address. We need effective programs. Some schools are doing wonderful things for their students to feel a sense of joy and happiness...we need to learn from them. [/quote]

What kinds of things? What specifically do the programs do that help reach these students? [/quote]
