Our culture is obsessed with weight loss and idolizes thinness, equating it to health. This westernized view of "health" has contributed to serious harms and deficiencies in care delivery across disciplines. Weight-inclusive care, grounded in the principles of Health At Every Size ® (HAES), is a contemporary framework that challenges our assumptions about weight and health, and offers an inclusive, alternative approach to the treatment and care of bodies at all sizes.
This 90-minute webinar will explore the problems and harms associated with the dominant, weight-centric paradigm and approach to care, especially for those in larger bodies. Attendees will learn the principles of Health At Every Size ®, learn how to identify their own biases around size and health, and move towards creating a more inclusive treatment environment for all bodies.
