In this episode we tackle the issues around our use of language in relation to mental health, and the important role this plays in reducing stigma and increasing our understanding. We chat about some of the colloquial language that is embedded in our everyday speech, and how we should be aware that our flippant use of phrases can cause offense. We also share our advice about the most helpful and supportive responses when somebody reaches out to you for help - and some of the things to definitely avoid saying. Finishing with our top tips for looking after yourself when supporting someone else, we hope you'll find this episode useful and informative, with lots of food for thought!
