Education Session: "Frequent Flyers or Preparing to Soar: The Effect of Stigmatizing Language in School Health"
In this engaging and interactive session, participants will explore examples of stigmatizing language and gain an understanding of its nuances and implications. We will examine how such language can negatively affect individuals and communities, particularly in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion, emphasizing the importance of respectful verbal and written communication in fostering supportive environments.
Attendees will develop actionable strategies for promoting understanding, acceptance, and psychological safety.
The session will guide participants in identifying meaningful metrics and planning initiatives to drive positive culture change. Ultimately, participants will learn to evaluate the outcomes of their communication efforts, using feedback and data to continuously improve practices in professional interactions and documentation.
