As part of AHA's recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Rebecca Chickey, AHA's senior director for behavioral health services, writes about the "People Matter, Words Matter" series of posters and the importance of using "person-first" language in behavioral health care settings. As a part of the Telling the Hospital Story initiative, Robin Conyers, vice president of behavioral health services at CHI health, discusses how the health system is using the posters to encourage person-first language in all aspects of health care.
