Julie Church, RDN, CD, CEDRD will provide an introduction to Health at Every Size (HAES). HAES is relevant for all of us since it is a paradigm that emphasizes equality for all, regardless of body size. All of us have varying degrees of awareness of how we have been impacted by the societal norms around size and weight. This training will provide a foundation of nutrition and weight science research to help attendees learn the truth around weight and health and increase awareness of size discrimination/weight stigma. Time will be spent in the training to help translate the science discussed into our professional and personal lives.
We invite anyone and everyone to attend this training! Parents, educators, counselors, medical providers, nurses, physical therapists, fitness/yoga instructors, college students, etc.
2 CE hours will be available for dietitians and therapists.
This is a free event. Coffee, tea, and snacks will be served.
