August Watch Party – Abolition: A Framework for Liberation in Eating Disorder and Weight Inclusive Care
Watch Parties are a dedicated time where we can gather and watch one of the recordings from a past webinar together. WIDIC members will have the opportunity to vote on what to watch every month! There will be additional time at the end blocked off for discussion and peer support.
Access to Watch Parties is available to all WIDIC members and anyone who has previously registered for the webinar, or purchased the recording. Watch Parties are not recorded.
For this month’s Watch Party, we are watching Abolition: A Framework for Liberation in Eating Disorder and Weight Inclusive Care, originally presented by Dr. Jennie Wang-Hall in July 2023.
Eating disorders are conditions that must be contextualized within the societal structures of oppression that define their development, occurrence, and treatment. Justice-oriented treatment for eating disorders must include explorations and pursuits of liberation and collective healing, which are currently largely neglected in treatment approaches. This webinar will assist attendees in:
- Understanding the relevance of abolition as a praxis for mental health and eating disorder healing
- Identifying the ways in which current treatment is carceral and failing many
- Envisioning what it looks like to embody the values of freedom, agency, and liberation in eating disorder and weight inclusive care
