School counsellors are in good position to curb the menace of suicidal ideation among students in school.

The paper also highlights the concept of suicidal ideation, types of suicidal ideation, warning signs of suicidal ideation, prevalence of suicidal ideation, and strategies for reducing the menace of suicidal ideation.
