January not only brings us a new calendar year but another month where fat bodies are attacked. Whether for weight loss or "health", it seems everywhere we turn there is an overwhelming amount of messages focused on diet and exercise. But what actually constitutes our health? And is health something we all should be striving for? This webinar will delve into the intricate relationship between the determinants of health and the pervasive issue of weight stigma in healthcare.

Weight stigma affects not only mental well-being but also physical health outcomes. We examine the repercussions of this stigma on health, emphasizing the urgency to dismantle biases and promote weight-inclusive care. Let's advocate for equitable, compassionate healthcare practices. Empowerment begins with education and action. Discover actionable steps to challenge weight stigma in healthcare settings. From fostering awareness among healthcare providers to advocating for policies that prioritize inclusivity, together, we can drive meaningful change.
