In the early to mid-2000s Palo Alto was rocked by a cluster of teen suicides. For Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we’re airing a documentary from audio reporter and producer I-Yun Chan, who traveled to Palo Alto to help her understand her own loss, and what it means to live on after someone losing someone to suicide.

This story was edited by Shereen Marisol Meraji and was made in the audio program at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. It was engineered by Chris Hoff.

This episode discusses suicide. If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
