13 Reasons Why

Wednesday, 26 April 2017 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

This week on Brainwaves, we discuss the highly criticised Netflix series "13 Reasons Why". The show has come under immense media scrutiny for its portrayal of mental health and suicide. We discuss the parts of the show that don't sit well with us, and express our thoughts on comments from strangers on the internet and mental health organisations as well. 

This episode of Brainwaves contains major spoilers for all thirteen episodes of the show, and discusses the heavy themes it presents such as suicide, self harm, bullying, and rape. You can read Headspace's warning about the series here

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
