Understanding & Managing Anxiety
The Language of
Mental Health
The history of mental health is tied up in our use of the language around it. Lots of us have grown up around words such as mad, crazy, mental, psycho and other words like this. A lot of the language around mental health has often been very negative and critical of other people and their experiences.
Red Umbrella’s dedicated webinar includes:
- Looking at the important role language plays around mental health
- The struggles some people may be facing with their mental health
- The language to avoid using and some alternative language that we can use to promote less stigma around mental health and promote open conversations

Introduction
The language we use around mental health plays a crucial role in reducing stigma and promoting
understanding. Using respectful and supportive terms helps normalise mental health challenges and
encourages open conversations. Choosing language that avoids judgment and emphasises empathy can
create a more inclusive environment, making it easier for people to seek help and support.

The health and wellbeing of my staff are crucial to our business. When a key team member showed signs of mental illness, I realised I needed support to help them effectively. After contacting Red Umbrella, they quickly connected my employee with a therapist, leading to a successful recovery.
I discovered Red Umbrella in 2022 while seeking support for staff and client wellbeing. Since our initial meeting, our relationship has grown significantly. Red Umbrella now provides crucial services like Mental Health First Aid Training, resilience training, and prisoner counselling.
