The team at Food Active have developed the training workshops to help professionals across the borough to feel encouraged and empowered to have conversations about weight.

This interactive online workshop will:

• Raise awareness of the complex range of factors that influence overweight and obesity
• Consider the impact of weight stigma on individuals living with overweight and obesity
• Understand the impact of weight stigma, bias and prejudice and explore how to create supportive, healthy weight environments
• Consider the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on weight gain and how weight discrimination can activate our stress response system
• Understand current vision and strategy within the borough in relation to supporting healthier weight
• Give advice on how to have positive conversations about weight – focus on person-centred, wellness and health gains
• Suggest where to refer and signpost, including local and national resources and services.

This session is aimed at working primarily with Children & Families
