Fat Positive Practice Workshop (Student)

Service Description

This three hour, interactive workshop is hosted by Nic McDermid. Nic is a fierce activist, advocate and content creator, who focusses much of her work on fat positivity, fat visibility and fat justice. She is a thought leader in the lived experience realm, offering her personal expertise on topics including mental health, eating disorder recovery, body image, weight stigma and anti-fat bias. Nic has featured at numerous conferences and online speaking appearances, using her voice to enact change, and speaking to audiences about the importance of challenging and dismantling systemic anti-fat bias. In this three hour workshop, Nic will draw upon her own personal experiences, and share intentional, meaningful and purposeful ways to incorporate fat positivity into your practice framework. She will offer suggestions as to how you can make changes that can immediately change the trajectory of your practice, and tips that you can integrate into your practice. Nic will also offer ongoing invitations to dig deeper into your own anti-fat bias. This workshop is open to both seasoned practitioners, as well as students and emerging healthcare workers. I welcome folks from different disciplines. If you're unsure whether this workshop will be suitable for you, please feel free to contact me to discuss. You will receive a Zoom link closer to the workshop day, as well as a copy of the work booklet and slides. There will be a few pre-workshop reflection questions to consider, as well as a few post-workshop questions to reflect upon and consider. These are personal, though I welcome any reflections during the workshop. I am really looking forward to having you attend!
