NAAFA Webinar Series 2020 continues with Dr. Nancy Ellis-Ordway, a practicing psychotherapist who unravels how social policy makers benefit from perpetuating weight stigma which leads to further discrimination against people of large body size.
LAS VEGAS - nvtip -- NAAFA's Board of Directors is excited about the latest in our NAAFA Webinar Series 2020. "How Weight Stigma Benefits Social Policy Makers" will be presented by Nancy Ellis-Ordway, LCSW, PhD, on Saturday, 7/18/20 at 11am PDT/ 12pm MDT/ 1pm CDT/ 2pm EDT.
Dr. Ellis-Ordway is a psychotherapist with more than thirty years' experience, specializing in treating eating disorders, body image issues, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. She has a private practice in Jefferson City, MO. She is the author of "Thrive at Any Weight: Eating to Nourish Body, Soul, and Self- Esteem"* (2019).
Weight stigma negatively affects quality of life for all people but it also influences social policy. Social determinants have a stronger influence on public and personal health than behavior does but interventions continue to focus on changing individual body size. This focus effectively distracts from the need for interventions that target social disparities such as poverty, pollution, racism and oppression, an approach that is much messier, more expensive and complicated. How do we change the conversation with policy makers?
