Are you ready to champion change and foster inclusivity in the world of maternity and perinatal care? Join our groundbreaking workshop, Supporting Fat Birth, led by AJ Silver - an experienced birth professional, Doula, Breastfeeding Counsellor, and Educator.
Discover how to spot and challenge fatphobia and medical weight bias while repositioning absolute autonomy for your service users. It's time to create a shift, ensuring all bodies are celebrated and supported without judgment.
AJ, drawing from their profound lived experience of two fat pregnancies and births, will guide you through the history, impact, and legacy of fatphobia in maternity and perinatal services. Their extensive professional insights will enrich your understanding of these complex issues.
History of Fatphobia: Trace the origins of fatphobia, from ancient voluptuous jade statues of fertility to modern-day fear and discrimination.
Medical Weight Stigma: Delve beyond the surface to comprehend the profound impact of medical weight stigma.
Conception Myths and Barriers: Listen to lived experiences and learn about the barriers to accessing conception services while fat.
Pregnancy & Birth Choices: Gain insights into navigating guidelines and protocols within a fat-phobic system and empower your clients through shared experiences.
Advocacy and Disruption: Learn how to challenge oppressive systems and empower fat individuals as an effective birth worker.
Fat & Perinatal: Explore how to create an inclusive environment for feeding positions, clothing, slings, and carriers, reimagining perinatal support for all bodies.
