Overview

What does it mean when food is advertised as “guilt-free”? Or when someone tells us that we “look great! Did you lose weight?”. In this training, we will examine diet culture as a social system of beliefs and look at how our ideas about bodies and food are impacted.

Kaitlyn will explore weight stigma and how this stigmatization affects people on individual and systemic levels. Attendees will learn strategies for adopting anti-oppressive and eating disorder informed approaches to their practice.

Key Learning Points

• To explore topics such as diet culture, weight stigma, and health using an anti-oppressive lens.
• To reflect on the implications of weight stigma, diet culture, and language on eating disorders and disordered eating.
• To understand how grief is connected to the experience of unlearning diet culture and letting go of the false promises it gives us and our clients.
• To share tools and strategies for adopting eating disorder-informed approaches to care.
