Language matters : safe language and messages for suicide prevention.: HP10-25/2018E-PDF

"Using language that is helpful and respectful encourages an environment free of stigma, where we can talk more openly and safely about suicide and its prevention. Words matter in a world where silence or insensitivity can make matters worse. The more we are open and safe in our communication, the more likely it is that people can offer or seek help"--page 1.
