含羞草社区

鈼� Both Netflix and mental health professionals are suggesting that the show may not be appropriate for youth at risk, or those who currently might be facing mental health challenges.

鈼� The show now includes a warning video that will play at the start of the season, encouraging youth to view the series with a trusted adult.

鈼� The season is premiering at a time when students are already in the midst of exams, graduation, and heightened stress.

鈼� Netflix shows are likely to be binge-watched, so students may arrive at school on Monday, May 21, already having watched the entire season.

鈼� We would appreciate your support in sharing this information through your networks, particularly to families. Below is an adapted version of this letter that can be shared with parents. Research has shown how impactful the media can be on youth mental health and wellbeing. Our goal is to support families in being informed and proactive on this matter.

How do we discuss the show with youth? 

In the event that students choose to view this series, the mental health professionals and staff on your campus may wish to discuss some of the issues raised. Some recommended online toolkits, which include discussion guides and other tools, are www.13reasonswhytoolkit.org/ and 丑迟迟辫蝉://补蹿蝉辫.辞谤驳/肠补尘辫补颈驳苍蝉/迟补濒办-补产辞耻迟-尘别苍迟补濒-丑别补濒迟丑-补飞补谤别苍别蝉蝉-尘辞苍迟丑-2018/13-谤别补蝉辞苍蝉-飞丑测/鈥�. 

These resources are being continually updated as the second season premieres this week. 

We value the input of our community and continuing to work together for the wellbeing of our youth.
