13 Reasons Why -- Season 2
|
|
Impressionable pre-teens and teenagers across the country watched the number one Netflix series last year:
13 Reasons Why
. On Friday, May 18, Netflix will be releasing season two of the widely recognized show.
Tragically, some children across the country have committed self-harm and indicated that the series was the cause for that self-harm. According to Phyllis Alongi, the Clinical Director of the Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide, "Research indicates a vivid description, real or fictional, of a suicide can contribute to and perpetuate sensationalism and glorification, which may lead to copycat suicide behaviors..." The Counseling Department is equipped and trained to identify marked risk factors as well as to recommend the next steps to students in need. In fact, we partner with a suicide awareness and prevention agency called With Hope--The Amber Craig Memorial Foundation. They visit CLHS on an annual basis to speak with students and parents.

Our prayer at this time is that we may successfully partner together in ensuring that our students understand that support is available to them, both at home and at school. Please contact your student's counselor with questions and concerns.
