A DEEPER DIVE INTO DE-STIGMATIZING FAT

With Jamie Earnhardt, LCMHC and Melanie Losacco, SEP

Friday, August 18th | 1-5pm | Current Wellness, Raleigh, NC | In-person | $200

You’ve got the basics down.
You believe that weight stigma is a social justice issue.
You want to do better.
Now what?!

Understanding ideas intellectually and integrating them are often two different things. As trauma informed, somatic practitioners - we know the importance of bringing the body into the conversation.
Our goal is to help bridge the gap between critical thinking and embodiment while honoring each persons’ access point.

THE TRAINING:
This is a training for wellness professionals of all kinds who already have a foundational understanding of HAES, anti-fat bias and weight-inclusive theories and who want to know how to practice them in their life and their work.

We are going to be meeting in person which gives us the ability to practice in real time. We are offering a space and tempo to help foster an experience of self and group regulation as we navigate these layered conversations. From this place of regulation, we look at different scenarios, questions and themes that come up with our clients around relationship to body and empower you to feel more grounded. We encourage participants to bring questions and themes from their own work to the training.

Experiential exercises will be offered to deepen our understanding of how anti-fat bias shows up for us personally and for our clients. We offer space to grapple with the balance of being a professional and our own person and the places of intersection.

WHO ARE WE:
We are both wellness practitioners. However, we think the most important skill we bring to this training is our lived experience as fat folx and as fat professionals in this field. We have also had the privilege to work with countless individuals who have shared their stories and lived experience with us.

PLEASE NOTE:
This is not a 101 level training. We assume that participants have a foundational understanding of Health at Every Size and weight stigma.
