About the event
In the first hour, Alexandra will guide us through:
- What anti-fat bias is, it’s history, and how it intersects with other forms of oppression,
- How anti-fatness enacts modern-day colonization,
- The history and development of the BMI and why it is irrelevant and harmful,
- The systemic and interpersonal impacts of anti-fat oppression,
- How anti-fat bias shows up in helping professions (often sneakily) and how to counteract it,
- How to incorporate trauma-informed approaches to working with fat clients, and
- Identifying specific DO’s and DON’Ts for how to show up for you clients.
There will be 30 minutes for a Q&A.
Participants will be sent a video recording and resource document post-workshop.
