Language Matters:
How we speak of mental health and those with mental illness impacts how we treat those in need of help, and how we respect the importance of mental health awareness and healthy practices in each of our lives. 

The Sanctuary Language Guide for Mental Health offers a summary of definitions and appropriate words and phrases supporting our mental health journeys.
