Creating An Eating Disorder Informed Workplace
Presented by :
Virgie Tovar, Journalist at Forbes, author, activist, and leading expert on weight-based discrimination
Katie Piel, Primary Therapist at Within Health
The influences of diet culture, fatphobia, and weight discrimination are everywhere, from doctor's offices and homes to the workplace and professional settings. Work doesn't exist in a vacuum—it exists in a cultural context, mirroring and upholding our society's cis-hetero white supremacist patriarchal models. We spend much of our lives at work, and a supportive, inclusive, and eating disorder-informed workplace can make all the difference.
