In lieu of having a formal speaker, this month we will meet for professional case consultation.

Join us for a monthly discussion on dismantling fat phobia and racism! Each month we will read a selection by a BIPOC fat author and discuss our reactions to the book. This series is open to the public and will emphasize accountability, self-awareness, and learning within a safe space. Meet with eating disorder professionals in the Winston Salem area as we unpack these complex issues and examine our own assumptions and internalized beliefs.
