About the Data Insights

This infographic highlights that many high school students struggle with behavioral health but schools often lack the capacity to support all students in need. In 2017, 31% of high school students experienced depression symptoms and 17% reported seriously considering suicide. In recent years, 62% of youth with major depression did not receive any mental health treatment.
