It’s been a tragic week for youth mental-health deaths in Chicagoland. Six high school students have taken their own lives
On this page, I’ll attempt to track youth mental-health deaths that occur in Cook, DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Kane, Will, & Kendall Counties in the 2021-2022 school year, by name of the student’s school.
Each time a school is listed under a month represents one student.
