  Freedom Embodied - Healing Through A HAES Framework

  Presented By: Dr. Jennifer Wang-Hall, PhD, PSY #30374

  Friday, January 23, 2026, 9:30 am-11:30 am 

  Platform: Zoom-- this event will be live over zoom and recorded/sent to registrants so if you cannot attend the live event, please register and recording/CEs will be sent to you.

  Number of CEs: 2 

  Presentation Overview:

  Our culture is rife with anti-fatness and weight stigma, which results in significant mental, emotional, and physical distress. Clinicians see this in their offices regularly, manifesting clinically in eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal struggles. With the advent of GLP1s, weight and size are front of mind for everyone and these concerns are inevitably going to become more present in our practices even for those of us who do not see eating disorders primarily.                 

  Freedom Embodied is a 2-hour training that orients clinicians to the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES) and explores the ways that this can be applied clinically, both with clients with eating disorders and without. This training will discuss the ways that HAES counters systems of oppression that contribute to mental distress including capitalism, white supremacy, and anti-fatness. It is our privilege and responsibility as clinicians to embrace frameworks such as HAES that allow us to do healing work on both micro and macro fronts. 

  Educational Goals:

  This course is designed to assist clinicians in recognizing the influences of systemic oppression (namely anti-fatness, capitalism, and white supremacy) on mental illness, specifically eating disorders and associated struggles. This course will help clinicians understand and implement the principles of the HAES framework in their practice in order to support their clients in more radical and holistic healing. 

  Objectives:

  a.  Participants will be able to identify 4 psychological manifestations of anti-fatness and weight stigma distress. 

  b.  Participants will be able to identify the prevalence and psychological reign of GLP1s in our current society. 

  c.  Participants will be able to name the 5 principles of Health at Every Size. 

  d. Participants will be able to describe 3 ways to integrate these principles into therapy. 

  e.  Participants will be able to explain 3 sources of systemic oppression that HAES directly counters.

  Presentation by:

  Dr. Jennifer Wang-Hall, PhD, PSY #30374 

  

  Bio- Dr. Jennie Wang-Hall is a licensed psychologist in California who has treated eating disorders and their associated conditions at all levels of care since 2011. Jennie is passionate about providing care for clients seeking liberatory therapy, as well as social justice education for providers looking to expand their methods of care.  Working in various treatment centers and teams with differing approaches, Dr. Wang-Hall has trained in a multitude of approaches and has witnessed the utility and futility of various approaches. These experiences have led her to an eclectic and anti-oppression lens that facilitates client empowerment and agency in the practice of therapy. Core to Dr. Wang-Hall’s approach is attunement to systems of oppression that manifest in both the development and treatment of eating disorders. She integrates attention to ableism, white supremacy, anti-fatness, misogyny, cis heterosexism, capitalism, and settler colonialism in her care of individuals from all backgrounds struggling with eating disorders. Dr. Wang-Hall brings herself relationally into therapy, education, and training spaces as she feels this work is truly a privilege that requires her fullest self to receive.
