“Change the language, change the stigma.”
Our next workshop, “Change the Language, Change the Stigma”, is booked for the 16th of September in the Innovation Centre with Hannah Murtagh! Make sure to sign up quick for this free in person event.
The focus will be on the language we use when promoting Mental Health within organisations; concentrating on stigmas attached to words rather than meanings and asking if we can change perceptions through the language we use.

Quote:
“FitHead delivered a bespoke workshop for our staff. The topic was around stigma and the language we use when talking about mental health. The training was really engaging, appropriately paced, and interesting. I would highly recommend Hannah as a facilitator; she led the workshop brilliantly and there was really positive feedback from staff. I plan to book more workshops with FitHead in the future.”
