Acknowledgement

Equally Well recognises the lived experience of people who have experienced emotional or mental distress and the variety of experiences those people have had in accessing mental health services. Lived experience is embedded in Equally Well and continues to drive and direct our purpose. Equally Well and Charles Sturt University acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as traditional custodians of the land on which it operates.

We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and value the rich history, unbroken culture and ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to country. Equally Well values inclusion and diversity and is committed to providing a safe, culturally appropriate, and inclusive service for all people, regardless of their ethnicity, faith, disability, sexuality, gender identity or health status.

Language

Equally Well acknowledges the wide range of terms often used within the field of mental health, such as service user, consumer, patient, client, person with lived experience and psychiatric survivor. These terms reflect local contexts, historical moments, political influences and preferences. We have used the term people living with mental illness. We also acknowledge the critique and limitations of all terms, including people living with mental illness.
