Every Size Workshop*
Dates: March 31, 2016

*Description*
Health at Every Size or HAES is an evidence based paradigm that expresses
concern about the health effects of the war against obesity, and switches
the focus from weight to health and well-being. The five basic principles
of Heath at Every Size (HAES) are weight inclusivity, health enhancement,
respectful care, eating for well-being, and life-enhancing movement. Using
a combination of therapeutic approaches, including mindfulness,
self-compassion, and intuitive eating, HAES can strengthen an individual's
commitment to their health and wellness by focusing on quality of life and
self-care instead of dieting for cosmetic reasons. In this workshop, Hilary
Kinavey, MS, LPC and Dana Sturtevant, MS, RD, co-founders of Be Nourished
<http://benourished.org/>, will review the philosophical approach of HAES,
discuss research findings, and explore the practical application of HAES in
a clinical setting.

*Objectives*
At the end of the session attendees will be able to:

   - Describe the principles of Health at Every Size
   - Understand the physical and emotional consequences of weight bias in
   our culture
   - Explain research findings that are central to HAES
