Beyond Bodies in the Room: Addressing Anti-Fat Implicit bias in Clinical Work
Dr. Catharine Devlin and Dr. Andrea Seefeldt specialize in treating eating disorders – within a Heath at Every Size (HAES) framework – and are committed to their mission of providing size-inclusive care. With a goal of improving access to and quality care, they have been focusing on promoting size-inclusivity among their peers. As such, they have developed this Anti-Fat Implicit Bias Training to educate other health and mental health professions about anti-fat implicit bias and help providers learn to mitigate the effects of these biases on the clients and patients in their care.
Audience
This seminar is intended for health and mental health providers who have a desire to be more aware of their own biases, understand how these biases impact their clinical work, and improve their clinical outcomes. The presenters are happy to connect directly with treatment facilities, training programs, clinics, and private practices to provide this course to their staff and students.
