Current “weight stigma” or “body positivity” training does not fundamentally address provider’s own internalized bias, relationship with their own bodies, or how these impact the care they provide. This training explicitly addresses this gap and aims to cultivate greater compassion for self and others. We will also explore how anti-fat bias is a systemic issue including a look at the fundamental link to racism and ableism, how medical discrimination against fat people is lethal, and discussing how healthcare providers (social workers, doctors, nurses, sex therapists) can work together collectively to create collective care options for systemic problems. Clinicians/providers who take this training will be able to provide better mental/healthcare to patients of all sizes.Sliding scale fee pricing approaches enable folx to access services no matter their financial situation. The scale is centered around the actual cost of a service but also provides payment options above and below the base cost. Ideally, folks with financial security who can pay more for a service elect to pay an amount above the full cost so that folks without financial security are still able access services without risking access to their basic needs. When the sliding scale is used in an equitable way, the cost of services averages to meet the base cost and providers/educators are still paid appropriately for their time and expertise.
