SUMMARY:Fat Liberation & Health at Every Size™ Training
DESCRIPTION:Fatness is not an indicator of health. In this two-hour workshop\, we’ll explore how fatphobia creates a system of inequity that harms fat people\, thus affecting their health. We will talk first about Health at Every Size™\, a set of principles and frameworks that presents an alternative to the weight-centered approach to treating patients of all sizes. HAES™ promotes health equity\, ending weight discrimination\, and improved access to quality healthcare regardless of size. Next\, we’ll explore Fat Liberation\, a movement that maintains fatness at the center of its narrative and focuses on the way fat people are mistreated\, marginalized\, and oppressed by various systems. Through this training\, participants will challenge and shift oppressive thinking and gain insight into ways to better support fat people and people who have experienced weight discrimination. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will; \n\nDefine health beyond myths and misconceptions\nDiscuss drawbacks of dieting\nLearn about the HAES™ model\nExplore the history of Fat Liberation\nDiscuss differences between Body Positivity and Fat Liberation\nExplore how anti-fat bias causes harm\nExamine connections between anti-fat bias and other oppressive ideologies and systems\n\nFacilitator: \nSkylar Kelley\, RN is the Nurse Team Lead at Pathways Vermont. They have worked in various nursing settings including ICU\, cardiac care\, and in the community. They believe that healthcare that feels supportive and choice-centered should be available to ALL of us\, ALL of the time…for FREE! Skylar is passionate about harm-reduction\, collective liberation\, and donuts. They live in Colchester\, VT with their spouse\, toddler\, and two cats. In their spare time they play dress-up with said toddler and try to convince her that walking in the woods continuously in one direction (you might call it “hiking”) is a good time. \nLogsitics: \nPlease log in from a quiet\, undisturbed location for this event as there are interactive sessions with discussions\, not webinars. \nThis training is for people who work and/or live in Vermont. This training is free of charge to participants and generously sponsored by the Peer Workforce Development Initiative. \nContact peerworkforce@pathwaysvermont.org with any questions.
