I can often struggle to find the time to move research outcomes to publication outcomes - especially when we prioritise the application of research into our programs at @everymindau.bsky.social rather than prioritising publication. But it feels great to already have two papers published in 2025!

Some common terms & language around mental health concerns, suicide & self-harm, alcohol & other drugs, and disordered eating can cause shame & stigma, reinforce myths, and lessen the likelihood of help-seeking and support. Our words matter. More free tips resources: tinyurl.com/ourwordsmatter

Consider the language you use around mental health concerns.

Avoid terms like: "Happy pills", "shrinks", "nuthouse".
Prefer instead: "Antidepressants", "psychiatrists", "psychologists", and "support services".

Consider the language you use around self-harm.

Avoid saying things like: Attention seeking, manipulating others, going through a phase.
Instead say things like: "Experiencing self harm" or "self-harming".

Consider language when referring to the use of alcohol and other drugs.

Avoid terms like: Junkie, crackhead, a drunk, alcoholic, pot-smoker.
Prefer language like: "Person who uses drugs" or "he has an addiction to alcohol" or "a person who uses cannabis".

Consider the language you use around eating disorders.
Avoid saying: An anorexic, a bulimic, a binge-eater.
Instead say something like: "A person with a lived experience of an eating disorder" or "a person with a diagnosis of bulima" or "they are accessing treatment for anorexia."
