Ms. Matz will review the latest research related to weight, health and stigma. Participants will explore personal and cultural attitudes toward dieting, food and weight that impact clinical interventions. Participants will also learn how to use a weight-inclusive, trauma-informed approach to help clients develop positive, sustainable behaviors and cultivate a healthy relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves.
