Features
This course reviews the various ways weight-centric care impacts how we provide healthcare and learning ways to identify and modify this factor and improve working in these settings as well as on an interdisciplinary team. It is important to use a weight inclusive lens when planning, developing, and disseminating health information to the public to avoid bias.
This course also provides an in-depth and historical exploration of how society has shaped how we view bodies. Drawing on personal experiences and research, participants will explore how societal beauty ideals impact a person’s body image and health outcomes, reflect on their own experiences of having a body, and show how size-diversity can be a tool for advocacy.
What is Included?
