NSSC has created a comprehensive guide designed to help caregivers and those affected by Severe Mental/Brain Illnesses (SMI/SBDs) become familiar with and understand phrases and terms related to these conditions.
Inside, terms are defined and made easy to understand in plain language. This guide is available in flipbook, PDF, and trifold download. |
"Understanding the language of mental health empowers families and caregivers to navigate care, advocate effectively, and support recovery. Clear terms can save time, reduce confusion, and make a real difference in someone’s treatment journey." |
