Esta última versión no es una excepción. Además de las revisiones y actualizaciones anteriores, la Guía de Estilo 2024 incorpora nuevas secciones centradas en la interseccionalidad y el uso del lenguaje no binario. La guía es un reflejo de los esfuerzos continuos de la federación catalana para fomentar una comunicación que respete la diversidad y promueva la inclusión.

Las principales novedades de la guía son:

  • Intersectionality: The new guide highlights the importance of recognizing the multiple dimensions of individual identity, such as age, sexual identity, skin color, and social class, among others. This helps to avoid hierarchies and to address mental health from a perspective that considers the complexity of individual experiences.

  • Non-binary language: The guide provides guidelines for using indirect non-binary language, avoiding gender hierarchy and using gender-neutral terms where possible. This includes using gender-neutral words where possible.

  • Visual and content update: A specific section on the use of images has been added to avoid stereotypes and promote a diverse and positive representation of mental health. In addition, the guide presents the new corporate image that reinforces the key messages of Salut Mental Catalunya’s communication.

The document is addressed to all people linked to mental health entities, with the aim of ensuring that the language used is respectful and inclusive. The 2024 Style Guide highlights the importance of talking about mental health accurately, avoiding terms that may perpetuate stigma or minimize the diversity of experiencesFor example, it is recommended to speak of “person with personal experience of mental health” instead of “mentally ill person”, and to use terms such as “person in a vulnerable situation” instead of “vulnerable person”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=»1/2″][vc_single_image image=»128081″ img_size=»full» onclick=»custom_link» img_link_target=»_blank» css=»» link=»https://consaludmental.org/centro-documentacion/com-parlar-salut-mental/»][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=»»]A living document for constant change.From Salut Mental Catalunya, they invite all interested people to Please review the guide and provide input to continue improving this document..
