Addressing Asian American Suicide in Wisconsin


The suicide rate for Asian American youth doubled between 1999 and 2021. A 2024 study by the Medical College of Wisconsin identified three factors that impacted Asian American youth ages 12-19 who died by suicide:

  • Missed warning signs
  • Poor post-crisis care
  • Unsupportive relationships



See what you can do to support the mental wellness of Asian American youth in Wisconsin in our newest publication, available in both English and Hmong.
