Weight Inclusive Alberta (WIA) is a directory that connects Albertans with weight inclusive healthcare and wellness providers in the province. WIA aims to support Albertans with (the often tough work) of finding respectful providers in the province! They strive to create a network of professionals and physicians dedicated to serving Albertans with structurally competent care, without the weight stigma.
Join Haley of Weight Inclusive Alberta for an interactive workshop exploring what anti fat bias is and building tools and strategies on how we can push back against it, especially in post-secondary settings.
This workshop is based on schools of thought developed by Black and fat liberation activists.
