Abstract
A psychologist working as a lecturer at a large metropolitan university finds a note with reference to death, self-harm, with the word ‘KILL’ in reference to self/the writer on same. A psychologist is working as a lecturer for an undergraduate psychology class at a local university. The psychologist will also be impacted, possibly worrying about the welfare of a student at the university and/or the time and effort it will take to follow up on the note. The lecturer is a psychologist employed at a metropolitan university. A couple of the scraps of paper were simply spare scribbles, easily placed in the rubbish bin, but one piece of paper contained writing that caught the psychologist’s eye. The lecturer is likely to feel concern for the individual noting self-harm in the note and would likely be impacted negatively if they were to subsequently hear of a student’s death by suicide.
