Our Words Matter: The Power of Language Surrounding Mental Health
There are many reasons why individuals stay silent about their mental health struggles. Language can make or break a workplace regarding employee’s coming forward about their concerns. Sometimes it is as simple as choosing our words correctly, which can reduce stigma, release feelings of shame, and eliminate some fear.
The workshop will outline how we should talk about mental health within our workplaces, language that fosters stigma, and language that supports a psychologically safe and healthy workplace. We will look at solutions to reshape the conversation by understanding first-person language and perspective taking.
