"Wanna Talk About It?" from Netflix

Netflix started this program “Wanna Talk About It?” during the pandemic but has ramped it up as of late which is when I noticed it. Many of their shows feature issues that could be quite triggering for people like domestic violence, sexual assault, self-harm, mental health issues, and other topics so this program is a direct answer to that content. I myself first noticed it with the show “Baby Reindeer” which has much of that content, and yes it is very triggering.

As a way to provide back to those viewers and to the communities, Netflix started offering access to resources to help those who may be suffering. To me the name “Wanna Talk About It?” is perfect.

As you research the initiative, you may see some partnerships with Meta through live chats on IG and some Facebook content, but I believe that was during the pandemic only. Now it’s just all through Netflix and it’s programming from what I can tell, all tied directly to its shows.

And I have to say many of these shows are quite bold, shall I say, so I could see where they would be triggering. I’ve talked about it several times with family members and friends quite frankly. So the Netflix link to resources is a kind move.

I commend the brand.
