Netflix has recently been airing a show, 13 Reasons Why, which we understand has gained in popularity amongst our students. The material is graphic and potentially triggering for vulnerable young people. However, some of our students may access this material on their own and may be left with questions and concerns. We are including the attachments as references for parents and guardians in an effort to support our students about this material, in addition to suggesting that students talk with their parents/guardians about their feelings. Also included are links to community resources as needed.
Please consider the attached resources, which may be of help when speaking to your child about their awareness and/or exposure to the program, and their feelings.
