Our youth need our help. A new CDC survey shows significant increases in high school students reporting persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, considering suicide or attempting suicide over the past decade – trends that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the pandemic began, more than two out of five students (44%) reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness that caused them to stop doing usual activities. About one in five seriously considered suicide, and nearly one in 10 attempted suicide.

This Suicide Prevention Month, Wisconsin Mental Health Investments On the Rise

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/14/2022 - 7:56am

Dear Editor,
Over the last two years, all of us have felt the impacts of prolonged isolation as some local communities lack access to the mental health services they need.
In Wisconsin, we are lucky to have local leaders who have noticed that gap and are working to close it.
This year, Gov. Tony Evers allocated more than $15 million in deliverables to support mental health resources in Wisconsin’s K-12 schools.
