An effective poster should contain: A title & relevant subtitles Text Visual material (graphs, tables, diagrams, appropriate images) 11 Jane 11 Title and subtitles The title and subtitles of your poster should: Succinctly capture your topic area Spark interest Be targeted towards your audience (i.e. patients and their carers) Focus on partnership Be recovery-oriented In addition, your subtitles should be logically organised according to the key focus areas (see Slide 9). Chat box activity #1: Consider the topic ‘Mental Health Recovery: Anxiety Disorder’. Can you think of a catchy, recovery-oriented title that incorporates the key element of carer partnership? 12 Text The text must be logically organised into sections (key focus areas). Subtitles will signpost each section. Your overall poster design could be based around these sections.

Language: Non-discrimination and Accessibility Language is powerful; it can empower or devastate a person (Srivastava, 2019). Sometimes, we do not realise the affect our language may have on those around us (MHCC, 2022). Therefore, the words you choose for your poster are extremely important. Your language should be: Respectful Non-judgmental Clear and understandable (plain English / everyday English) Free of jargon, confusing data, and speculation Carrying a sense of commitment, hope and presenting the potential for opportunity (MHCC, 2022) NOTE: Consider how you might balance an appropriate level of formality, while also ensuring your language is appropriate and accessible to your audience. Note: Use second-person language to create a personal and conversational tone. E.g. you / we / you and your loved ones / your recovery / your experience / your options / we can ... 18 Language: Using plain English Using plain English means using language that is clear and easy to understand. Plain English is personal and positive, uses short sentences, everyday words (rather than jargon) and active voice, explains key terms. (CEC, 2019) E.g. If you often feel worry or dread for no particular reason, you might be experiencing anxiety. Anxiety may be defined as apprehension, tension, or uneasiness that stems from the anticipation of danger, which may be internal or external. Chat box Activity #4: Consider the significance of anxiety. How could you explain it using plain English? 19 Language: Recovery-oriented Ensure you use non-judgemental, recovery-oriented language that focuses on partnership, choice and empowerment. E.g. One option is… You must take… If you are having a tough time… If you refuse… When you are experiencing depression,… When you are suffering from depression, … Chat box Activity #3: How might you use language that focuses on partnership?
