Do you know someone who excels in using empathetic language and respectful communication practices? Nominate them for the annual Person-Centred Language Award! 

In partnership with the Ontario CLRI and the Person-Centred Language Working Group, we’re excited to recognize the extraordinary efforts of champions who are dedicated to creating supportive and life-affirming environments for residents, family care partners and team members.

The Person-Centred Language Award celebrates residents, family members, team members or leaders who engage in inclusive, verbal and non-verbal communication practices that focus on the individual and their unique preferences and needs. Through their passion and commitment, person-centred language champions help foster an environment of compassion, dignity and respect. 

Nominations are now closed. Stay tuned for the 2027 call for nominations!

 

The Person-Centred Language initiative and resources were co-developed by BSO and the Ontario CLRI with support from an expert panel.
