As part of our #MentalMedia campaign we examine movies/series/music/content with you every month. These will be selected based on their influence on mental health of viewers.
This August, on popular demand, we examine the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, the mental health aspects mentioned in the series and share our thoughts and concerns and talk about many reasons WHY NOT. This is a 5 day session. Each day we talk about different events that push adolescents to contemplate about suicide.
- 1 Aug 2020 – In the introductory part of this session, we will talk about the influence media has on adolescent mental health and examine it via a web-series 13 Reasons Why. A lot of youngsters associated this series with darkness, suicide and expressed concerns about how to help their peers. Let’s familiarise ourselves with the story and the issues portrayed in this series – the reality vs fiction aspect- and how to address each of the specific issues.
