DHS Warns of Student Self Harm

Cases of young people self-harming rise after breaks from school end in Wisconsin.

The state Department of Health Services says in the months of September 2022 and January 2023, both of which follow extended breaks from the classroom, there was a 40-percent increase in youth self-harm cases compared to the months before. In September of 2023, data shows a smaller spike of 14-percent, but still encourages caregivers to be aware and not ignore any concerning signs.
