NRI doctors have launched the Emotional Assessment of Students by Educators (EASE) program to prevent student suicides. The program aims to train medical students and extend support to students in other streams. In 2022, 13,044 students died by suicide in India, averaging approximately 36 students every day. Both teachers and medical professionals lack training in identifying and intervening with suicide. Project EASE has trained over 1000 medical students in less than 50 days across seven colleges, with the goal of reaching 3 lakh students via teachers for early identification and referral to mental health professionals.
