This workshop will introduce health at every size (HAES) and intuitive eating (IE) models and how to integrate them into your work. Participants will learn about the ethics surrounding the medical model versus a HAES perspective. HAES requires allowing for bodily autonomy of our patients/clients, empowering clients/patients to make their own choices regarding their bodies and to allow clients access to ethical care. Participants will learn how HAES and IE can be lifesaving models of treatment that take a whole-body approach combating, racism, fatphobia, homophobia, ableism and other social justice issues that directly affect the health and access to health that many of our clients face.
