This podcast is created on the unceded territory of Treaty 8 and Métis District 13, lands that have been occupied, travelled and cared for by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. As an organization, we recognize the past wrongdoings and systemic inequities faced by our Indigenous populations. We are committed to uplifting Indigenous voices, respecting traditional lands, and working together towards reconciliation and healing. Imagine a world where every word spoken to and about us affirms our humanity, respects our individuality and acknowledges our unique experiences. Hi, I'm your host, Cara Jones, and this is the Starting Conversations podcast, where we will explore topics around mental health, education, and suicide prevention. The Starting Conversations podcast is an initiative of the Resource Centre for Suicide Prevention and is located in northern Alberta with offices in Grand Prairie and Grimshaw. It's our vision to promote mental well-being, raise awareness, eliminate stigma, and provide educational resources to reduce suicide, suicide behaviours, and their impacts. When we use language, it can either empower or stigmatize. Person-centred language shifts the focus from labels and diagnosis to the person's lived experience, promoting a more compassionate and inclusive approach to mental health care. In today's episode, I'm speaking with Tammy Monro, Public Education and Outreach Director at the Resource Center for Suicide Prevention in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Tammy gives us a little insight into the differences between person-centered and identity-centered language. We discuss the importance of mindful language in mental health, the impact of stigmatizing words, and the evolving terminology around suicide. Join us as we delve into how changing our language can create a more supportive environment for everyone.…
