Language - What We Say Matters! |
Handout(s): |
Language shapes how we see the world-and ourselves. We have a choice in the words we use to describe ourselves, others, and the world around us. The words we choose and the meanings we attach to them influence our decisions, beliefs, and well-being. The workshop examines the use of person-first language in the behavioral health field to build respectful, person centered relationships. |
Participants will: Increase their ability to intentionally use language that provides an alternative interpretation to the “medicalization” of a person’s story not based in psychiatric models or diagnoses. Increase their ability to reframe behavior described as “Manipulative”, “attention-seeking”, “entitled”, “acting-out” that support working with individuals they support develop more effective ways to get their needs met. |
