The popular new Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why has become a quite popular binge-worthy series for students.  The series shares a sensationalized view of teen suicide and does not portray appropriate or accurate support/treatment for teens in these situations.  The National Association of School Psychologists has put together an informative resource for parents and educators including cautions, guidance, and additional resources.
