Language Matters  Your words have impact  Using words like “bipolar” “psychotic” and “OCD” to describe a person or behavior reinforces negative stereotypes  Always use “person first” language  “People with mental health conditions” not “The mentally ill.”  Don’t use words like “crazy” as adjectives Photo credit: theoddesyonline. Modified. #IamStigmaFree See the Person, Not the Condition

 Reach Out  “We haven’t hung out in a while. How are you doing?  Ask if they want help with anything  “I’m going to Chipotle. Want me to bring you a burrito?”  A little support goes a long way Connections Matter  Sometimes people with mental health conditions find it hard to stay connected to friends  This is when they need support most. See the Person, Not the Condition #IamStigmaFree Photo credit: Imgflip. Modified.
