About the event
Join us for an empowering community dialogue focused on the importance of person-first language in reshaping how we view and speak about mental health. This event will explore how everyday language can either perpetuate stigma or promote dignity and inclusion.
Through real-life examples, expert insight, and open discussion, participants will gain tools to recognize harmful labels, reframe conversations, and advocate for more respectful, people-centered communication. Whether you’re a parent, educator, healthcare provider, or community member, this event is a step toward building a more compassionate, stigma-free culture.
Let’s change the narrative — one word at a time.
