Say What?
A Card Deck for Thoughtful Rephrasing
The way we communicate with and about people reveals—and shapes—attitudes and behaviors. The language we use can alienate those with invaluable insight and contribute to stigmas, or it can signal respect and dignity.
Shifting to trauma-informed language takes time, as it differs from the everyday conversations around us. Why not make it fun and approachable? With their vibrant, tactile design, these cards make it easy to engage and enjoyable to practice—helping you adopt language that honors dignity in a way that feels inviting and accessible.
With 52 cards, this deck supports your journey toward more respectful, inclusive language—one thoughtful conversation at a time.
