Each profession typically has its own specialized language, including jargon, signals, codes, and acronyms. The words we choose, our non-verbal communication, and our perceptions of a situation may help or hinder our ability to improve trust and provide support for those we are serving. This session will provide participants with an understanding of why certain terminology is used by professionals and why the change in vernacular, as well as how your personal biases, can harm your ability to work effectively with those we serve.
