Today is International Pronouns Day! Taking the time to learn and use the pronouns someone shares with us is a simple way to show respect.

At Wellwood, we strive to create a welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. Respecting people’s names, pronouns, and identities is part of that commitment.

International Pronouns Day is a reminder that small, everyday actions can help people feel seen, respected, and included.

Thank you to pronouns.org for this resource and for encouraging conversations about the importance of personal pronouns.
