As you may have heard in the news, Netflix released the second season of 13 Reasons Why on May 18, 2018. This is a popular series and we anticipate that many young people may watch the show. Some of the content could be potentially triggering for some teens who are more vulnerable at this time. Mental Health Leaders and other professionals across the province are working with system and school leaders in their area to be prepared for any challenges that may arise in light of this in schools. We would like to remind everyone about the materials that were prepared last year, and to highlight a few additional resources to support parents/caregivers in supporting youth who may be watching the 13 Reasons Why series.

Below are some links to new resources that may be of help:

As always, if you have individual concerns about your child related to mental health, or need additional resources, please contact your child’s school.
