Resumo
This research is a case study that aims to investigate suicide coping strategies at the Federal University of Goiás. Currently, suicide is the second cause of death in young people and part of this population is in training in the university environment. The university in our society is a privileged space for scientific training and human subjectivity, being the locus of scientific production. As secondary objectives, we seek to understand how suicide is expressed in the population of university students and what policies have been implemented in suicide care. The theoretical framework used was the Critical Theory of Society. Data were obtained through governmental and institutional documents on mental health and through semi-structured interviews with professionals from a mental health service at the university. Legislative documents and ordinances on mental health in Brazil and institutional ordinances incorporated by the Federal University of Goiás are also used. In addition, three semi-structured interviews were carried out, which were fully transcribed. The results indicate a gap in the University's policies for mental health care, in addition to a reduced number of professionals who attend the institution's main mental health service. It is concluded that suicide among young people, in current Western society, is directly related to feelings of imprisonment and impotence generated by the prevailing capitalist system. Suicide is understood as an expression of suffering and the impossibility of envisioning individual and social overcoming. It appears that Brazil has been a pioneer in the implementation of mental health policies in Latin America, but it has powers in its implementation. Therefore, it is considered that there are gaps in policies for suicide care in the university population, including prevention and postvention strategies, and few professionals trained in mental health care.
