ForwardPerson-First and Inclusive Communication in Healthcare
This is a 90-minute training that discusses the importance of utilizing person-first language and inclusive communication in healthcare. This course will advance the education of the audience by giving specific examples and scenarios for how to destigmatize language in a healthcare setting. This presentation is designed to advance and enhance the education of graduate-level counselors by equipping them with essential skills and knowledge that align with best practices in both person-first language and strength-based framework, and ensuring cultural competence in public health communication. By integrating the course objectives, the presentation ensures that graduate-level counselors are better prepared to deliver culturally competent and empathetic care, use language that promotes dignity and empowerment, and apply health equity principles effectively. This comprehensive approach not only enhances their professional skills but also aligns with the standards required for NBCC approval. *BHCE
