Official statements and warnings regarding the Netflix show 13 Reasons Why

STATEMENT ISSUED FROM SIXTH DISTRICT PTA:

"Netflix released the second season of 13 Reasons Why on Friday, May 19. All the season's episodes became available on that day.

The National Association of School Psychologists recommends that vulnerable children and youth (such as those struggling with depression, previous suicidal behavior, or trauma) not binge-watch the show all at once 'as doing so with intense content, particularly in isolation, can be associated with increased mental health concerns.'

Netflix has announced resources for parents on the topics covered by the series."
