Description

Body dissatisfaction is a primary driver of eating disorders, and when eating disorders occur in marginalized individuals, related dynamics are increasingly complex. Marginalized people seeking professional help may find eating disorders services – which were constructed for cisgender, heterosexual, affluent, thin, able-bodied women – unequipped to provide intervention and treatment for their intersecting identities. This session focuses on practical interventions informed by social justice principles to ensure all individuals with eating disorders can access safe treatment options.
