Workshop Description
This interactive workshop provides guidance on how to share nutrition information in a way that minimizes the risk of triggering disordered eating, and reduces weight stigma. Participants will explore the impact of a practitioner’s language when discussing food, body image, and weight whether this is through individual client interactions or information shared through avenues such as social media, print resources, or public speaking engagements.

We invite those in academia, public health, foodservice, dietetic interns, nutrition students.

However, all interested practitioners are welcome to attend.
