Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings. Leaflets(传单) carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.

　　However, the second suicide came seven days later.

　　Both students were described as men of few words. Their schoolmates didn’t see anything to indicate suicide.

　　Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders. But the school didn’t know this until the students’ close friends outside school and their parents unveiled(揭露) the truth after the suicides.

　　According to Zhang, there are only three full-time counselors (心理辅导专家)working in the university’s counseling center for its 60,000 students. He complained: “It’s unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students’ mental problems.”

　　Some universities in the US may be able to offer solutions to Zhang’s worries. They have established programs to train students to be the bridge between troubled friends and counselors.

　　At Worcester Polytechnic Institute, at Worcester, Massachusetts, US, young people in the Student Support Network role play to learn how to detect SOS signals from their schoolmates.

　　They also practice how to gently persuade emotionally troubled students to go for professional help.

　　To develop such empathy(同理心), many universities in China have organized campus events to popularize knowledge about mental health. But these are not that attractive to students.
