Unlocking health at any size - A Size Inclusive Practice Seminar
2024-10-23 17:30 - 20:00 | The Cube Wodonga, 118 Hovell St, Wodonga, Victoria, 3690, Australia
Wodonga

When: October 23, 2024 from 5.30pm
Where: The Cube Wodonga

Event includes light refreshments

Join us for an eye-opening seminar that challenges the conventional wisdom linking body weight with health. Evidence shows that behaviour doesn’t necessarily determine a person’s body weight and body weight doesn’t always reflect health. Yet, many believe weight loss is key to better health and disease prevention and that higher body weight equates to poorer health.
This pervasive weight stigma creates barriers to health-supporting behaviors, like nourishing eating and regular movement.
This seminar aims to break down these barriers by promoting a size-inclusive approach to health.
We invite health professionals, educators, and community leaders to learn how to create environments that support people of all shapes and sizes in optimising their health and well-being.
What to expect

Understand how assumptions about body size and health influence our practices.
Learn why the evidence promoting smaller bodies over larger ones isn’t as definitive as claimed.
Discover the growing interest in size-inclusive approaches and how to implement them.

Keynote speaker
Dr Fiona Willier, AdvAPD, FHEA, GAICD, PhD, is on a mission to empower health professionals to adopt weight-neutral practices. She will guide us through the principles and benefits of a size-inclusive framework, aiming to dismantle the outdated “food police” perception of dietitians.
Panel
Engage with local experts, including psychologists, dietitians, youth workers, health promotion officers and individuals with lived experience. They will share insights and practical strategies for promoting health at every size in their respective fields.
Why participate?

Gain a deeper understanding of how size-exclusive models are promoted in healthcare.
Acquire skills and knowledge in size-inclusive theory and practice.
Network with like-minded professionals dedicated to creating a supportive health culture for all.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be at the forefront of a transformative movement in health promotion.
This event is held in partnership with Women’s Health Goulburn North East.
