The Body Trust Framework: Dismantle Anti-fat Bias to Create Healing and Liberation with the Body
Copyright :
There is an epidemic of anti-fat bias in the healthcare community. In this session, Dana Sturtevant, MD, RD and Hilary Kinavey, MS, LPC, co-founders of the Center for Body Trust, will lead you through a weight-inclusive and destigmatizing approach to size in clinical practice. Engage in self-inquiry as a clinician to challenge biases and unpack misconceptions, and walk away with clinical interventions that shift the focus from 'body as project' to a healing-centered perspective.
