Peer Mentor Program

"As time goes on the culture progressively becomes more poisonous and gets transmitted to the students. Students who are upset by the behaviour of academic as****es are often counselled, often by their peers, that “this is how things are done around here” . Those who refuse to accept the culture are made to feel abnormal because, in a literal sense, they are – if being normal is to be an as***le."

Academic As****es and the Circle of Niceness If performing like an as***le in a public forum creates the perverse impression that you are more clever... there is a clear incentive to behave this way.

Mental illness doubles risk of dying early, study says People with mental illness face twice the risk of dying early as the rest of the population — even though death is most often due to natural causes, new research shows.

"A small number of participants were concerned that they
would be subject to compulsory treatment or detention.
Some who had experienced compulsion tried to avoid
services altogether. One participant described needing
someone to talk to during crises, yet feared being given
medication. Consequently, he did not contact services: ‘‘I
don’t want to be in a situation where I can be forced’’.
Another participant co-operated with treatment through
fear of forced detention:
Participant (White male): they’ve still got some sort
of power over you and it’s as if they’re sort of, you
know, I feel as though, well I just feel I’ve got to go
along with what they say, whether you agree with it
or not as a human being, you know, and you should
have rights, certain rights.
Facilitator: Why do you feel that you’ve got to go
along with it?
Participant: Because I don’t want the threat of going
back into the hospital." http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00127-015-1028-z -1
