About this event

What's it all about?

This webinar will focus on supporting trans & gender diverse (TGD) folk with eating disorders, differences, and/or difficulties. It's specifically designed for healthcare professionals, as well as other folks who work / have interest in these domains.

We will approach things from a person-centred, trauma-informed, intersectional, de-pathologising, anti-oppressive framework, based on evidence and community lived experience.

Key topics will include:

  • Understanding the intersections (gender diversity, eating, minority stress, and more)
  • Issues with "gold standard" approaches
  • Gender incongruence & dysphoria vs. body image & dysmorphia
  • Considerations for care: supporting TGD folk with eating disorders
  • Harm reduction

I am a clinical psychologist, and also bring my own lived experience to this work, as a multiply neurodivergent (AuDHD+), queer, non-binary trans, disabled, chronically ill person with eating differences/difficulties, and past history of an eating disorder.

Folks' diverse experiences and insights are valued, and there will be room for respectful questions / reflections :)
