SUMMARY:Webinar: Language matters: Building respectful relationships with disabled clients*
DESCRIPTION:The language we use with clients has the power to support\, heal and empower. But words can also harm and dehumanise individuals. Although this is rarely intentional\, research consistently suggests that recipients of health and social support services often feel disempowered\, disrespected and excluded. \nTherefore\, it is critical we all reflect on the language we use. \nWhether we’re aware of it or not\, the language used in practice often reflects historical and contemporary ableism1\, colonialism and discrimination. As a result\, this language is often deficit-based and focussed on risk\, abnormality and impairment. This language is everywhere\, from policies\, procedures and systems to our everyday interactions with clients. \nUnfortunately\, this means particular groups\, such as disabled people\, are frequently framed through narratives that pathologise individuals and communities. \nThere are increasing calls from disabled people and advocates to challenge and change practice norms and assumptions\, promote genuine inclusivity and address the inequalities experienced by disabled people. In this work\, the views of disabled people must be centred. \nThis webinar will encourage you to reflect on the language you use in practice and provide practical tips so you can strengthen supports for disabled people. \nThis webinar will give you: \n\na better understanding of the ways ableism and other forms of discrimination are embedded in the mainstream social service sector and general society\nan increased awareness of how colonialism continues to influence practice language\, and how upholding Indigenous language sovereignty is central to self-determination\, cultural safety and collective healing and wellbeing\ninsight into the role language\, values and beliefs can play in building positive practitioner-client relationships and supporting positive disability identities\na chance to reflect on the language you use in practice and guidance on how to adopt language that affirms\, respects and benefits individuals.\n\nRegister here
