520 |a Suicide is a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death amongst those aged 15 to 29, making it particularly relevant in the university context, where many students fall within this age range. Universities are motivated to promote student wellbeing, as it is closely linked to academic achievement and overall satisfaction with the university experience. University chaplains play a vital role on campuses, providing spiritual care to the entire university community. Whilst their contributions to suicide prevention are acknowledged, there is a notable lack of explicit research in this area. This paper presents the results of an online multimethod questionnaire on the self-reported contributions of university chaplains to suicide prevention, involving 50 participants working in 16 different countries. The findings indicate that university chaplains self-report contributing to all three levels of the suicide prevention framework: prevention, intervention, and postvention, with prevention being the area where they feel they contribute most. This paper also explores the wellbeing practices of university chaplains, key elements of university chaplaincy, and various aspects of the professionalisation of university chaplaincy.
