SUMMARY:Fatphobia: The Socially Acceptable Bias
DESCRIPTION:Register Here  \nMay 28\, 2025 | 9:00 – 11:00 am CST | 2 CEHs | $30 | Live Webinar \nThis workshop is expected to be approved for .5 hours of Cultural Competency content  \nDescription: Fatphobia\, or weight-based discrimination\, is a pervasive issue that affects many aspects of life\, from healthcare and media representation to relationships and finances. This presentation aims to explore the complexities of fatphobia\, its origins\, and the profound effects it has on individuals from youth into adulthood and society as a whole.  \nWe will begin by defining fatphobia and distinguishing it from related concepts like body positivity and other biases. Fatphobia encompasses negative attitudes and discriminatory practices that marginalize people based on their body size. These can range from overt acts like derogatory comments to subtler forms\, such as biased medical treatment or harmful media portrayals.  \nThe presentation will explore how fatphobia has become normalized and perpetuated in society through factors like capitalism\, media influence\, and historical contexts. We’ll also discuss its impacts on mental and physical health\, including higher rates of anxiety\, depression\, and poor healthcare outcomes. Finally\, we will share actionable steps to challenge biases and promote inclusivity\, with tools like the Health at Every Size framework to help foster empathy and support equity in our communities.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nRaise awareness of the pervasiveness and normalization of fatphobia. \n\n\nExplore how stigma and bias perpetuate fatphobia and related disorders. \n\n\nUnderstand the link between fatphobia and mental health. \n\n\nProvide strategies to challenge fatphobia in personal and professional settings. \n\n\nIntroduce Health at Every Size as a framework for supporting all body types. \n\nLevel: Basic | For: Everyone | Ages Addressed: All  \nPresenter: Nathalie Mahood\, MA\, LGSW – Psychotherapist at M Health Fairview\, LynLake Centers for Wellbeing  \nAbout the Presenter  \nNathalie\, a dedicated psychotherapist with M Health Fairview and LynLake Centers for Wellbeing\, brings compassion and expertise to her practice.
