Introduction to Health at Every Size®

Introduction to Health at Every Size®

Since the Fat Liberation movement began in the 1960s, activists have provided critical analyses about how weight is used in accessing, and the provision of, healthcare. This critique developed into what would eventually be called the Health at Every Size® (HAES®) Principles, drawing thousands of healthcare professionals to reconsider what is accepted as care for people in larger bodies.

The Health at Every Size® approach to healthcare is based on four Health at Every Size® Principles and a Framework of Care. Together they provide a path for healthcare providers to learn about and practice ethical and effective care for larger people. This session will introduce the four principles and ten components of the framework to serve as the foundation of Health at Every Size®-aligned care.

We'll cover:

• Medical weight bias and how it impacts health outcomes
• The history of developing the Health at Every Size® Principles
• How the Health at Every Size® Framework of Care improves health outcomes

This session is designed for healthcare providers who are brand new to Health at Every Size® but we welcome everyone to join in the conversation! Want to help spread the word? Print out the event flyer! We'll see you on July 25th from 1-2pm ET!
