Equally Well acknowledges that the area of lived experience engagement and mental health includes many diverse terms and phrases that refer to people, roles and processes across different settings, contexts, and jurisdictions. The intention of our communication and use of terminology is for inclusive language that reduces stigma and discrimination, reflects the diversity of our community and is appropriate for the context in which it is applied.
