Compassionate Approaches to Eating Disorders in Higher Weight Bodies

About this event

Do you struggle with how to discuss bodies in a way that feels empowering, not harmful?

Do you find yourself unsure how to help clients in higher-weight bodies without reinforcing harmful stereotypes?

Learn how to navigate conversations about bodies with sensitivity and respect, create a safe, inclusive environment, and support clients in higher weight bodies in their healing journey. You'll discover how to approach evidence-based treatments to be more inclusive; celebrating body diversity and fostering self-compassion. Learn how to address weight stigma, navigate challenging conversations, and create a supportive, safe space. Whether you’re a counsellor, therapist, dietitian, or any health professional, you’ll leave with the tools to help, not harm, and empower your clients through their eating disorder recovery.
