13 Reasons Why: Talking About Suicide
On March 31st 2017, Netflix launched 13 Reasons Why, a TV series based on a popular novel of the same name. The fictional story is cautionary tale of a young girl’s suicide, and covers other sensitive subject matter as the series progresses. In response to the series, our parnters at The JED Foundation co-authored with SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education), a page of talking points to assist parents, teachers, and other gatekeepers in talking to youth about suicide as it relates to the situational drama that unfolds in 13 Reasons Why.
