🗣️ Language matters in mental health.
Words shape how we see care, identity, and power.
Terms like “service user” were meant to move beyond the passivity of “patient” — yet they still define people by their relationship to the system, not by who they are.
It’s time to choose words that reflect personhood, partnership, and lived experience. 🌱
