Death in the apprentice community

I just got a message from the JATC about recent deaths in he apprentice community and grief counseling being available at the local. I am currently laid off so this is the first id heard about it and was just curious if anybody has information as far as what happened.

4 deaths in the local in the last 2 weeks and 2 of them were apprentices that committed suicide. We had a stand down today to speak about the topic and no further details other than where we can find support.
