GEMS Neurodiversity Summit: FAT!
(Full replay: 4 NBCC CE hours)

GEMS Neurodiversity Summit FAT VIP tickets for continuing education
Putting the "Body" in Bodymind.

Why show up for FAT!?

FAT! It's not a bad word - in fact, it can be grounding, empowering, and even exciting.
A full replay of our all-day virtual event centering fat presenters who will get you feeling excited and ready to support your fat clients!

With GLP-1s and intentional weight loss taking the spotlight lately, it can be tough to know how to respond when clients are curious. Fat bodies are stigmatized and discussed frequently. Representation continues to shrink and exclude us.

Your fat clients need a provider who knows how to navigate these conversations and how to support them in the face of all of this negative media.

Learn from fat clinicians who have both the lived experience and clinical knowledge to guide you in this work!

FAT! Replay Tickets include:
  • 4 NBCC continuing education credits
  • Replay access for 1 year
  • Replay of Keynote + Ask Us Anything sessions
  • A goody bag worth over $130
  • See more info below!
WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO DURING

Replay Sessions

Opening Keynote

Tigress Osborn, the Executive Director of National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), kicks us off! She'll be reminding us how vital this work is.
YOU are the right therapist for the job!

Collage as Care: Archiving the Fat Ancestor

Join Ashley Lagrange, LPC, to explore archival as an act of resistance in a world that manipulates the Fat Body. Ashley will share their history of personal archival and documenting their experiences - and how you can initiate creative therapeutic collage in your practice!

Compounded Stigma, Compounded Harm: Fatness & Neurodivergence

Sabrina Longley, LCSW, will be explaining how anti-fatness and ableism intersect to shape the experiences of fat neurodivergent clients in healthcare, in relationships, and in the therapy room - and how to support your fat neurodivergent clients!

Divergent Practice for Diverse Bodies: An Introduction to Fat Affirming Eating Disorder Care

Eza Dios, LICSW, will focus on the root of weight-stigma and anti-fat bias, the role this plays in the current healthcare landscape and eating disorder treatments, and approaches for engaging in affirming eating disorder care with our clients.

Fat Final Facets: Ask Us Anything

Wind down the day with Eza Dios, LCSW, Sabrina Longley, LCSW, and Dr. Kade Sharp, PhD, LICSW, CMHS, CST, RPT-S™. We're answering all of your VIP questions and giving our final thoughts on how to support your clients and yourself in this tough but necessary work! Questions are welcome around intersectionality, too- presenters have knowledge about working with adults, youth, queer, trans, non-binary, kinky, disabled, and chronically ill clients. Submit questions early or during the summit.
