Description

Join the Bay Area Nutrition and Physical Activity Collaborative (BANPAC) and weight discrimination expert Virgie Tovar for a powerful, thought-provoking two-session training on dismantling weight stigma in public health. Together, we’ll critically examine the cultural and institutional frameworks that have shaped dominant narratives about weight, health, and responsibility. Participants will gain new vocabulary, conceptual tools, and practical strategies for identifying and interrupting weight bias in research, policy, and practice. This session invites honest reflection, transformative learning, and a reimagining of what equitable public health can look like when every body truly counts.
