Presenter: Chevese Turner Chevese Turner currently is a professional activist providing consulting and advisement to corporations, small businesses, national and local organizations, and policy efforts around weight discrimination in the work place as a protected class. She also works with corporations and organizations who are integrating anti-weight discrimination in to their marketing with brand communications and customer engagement. Turner founded the Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) in 2008 and successfully managed its merger with the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in 2018 after 10 years that significantly changed the eating disorders community in both scope and focus. Prior to BEDA and Turner’s work advocating for the inclusion of Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual’s 5th Edition (DSM-5), published in 2013, those struggling with the most common and under-diagnosed eating disorder had little hope of being recognized and validated much less accessing treatment and insurance coverage. Turner is the co-author of Binge Eating Disorder: The Journey to Recovery & Beyond (Routledge, 2018) and contributes regularly to podcasts and the media. She graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia where she received a BA in Political Science. Her professional expertise includes public policy and government relations, public speaking, non-profit management, strategy, programming and communications, and activating for change through social healthcare movements. She is a past board member of the Academy of Eating Disorders (AED) and the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD). She is also a former advisor for Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment for Eating Disorders (F.E.A.S.T.) and currently serves as a board director for the Haystack Project and an advisor to Within Health. Summary of Presentation:  A weight inclusive paradigm has emerged as an important frame in the treatment of eating disorders because of the prevalence of weight stigma and discrimination in both the culture and clinical care. This presentation will clarify how we arrived at a place where the consideration of a trauma-informed lens is critical to treating clients who have experienced anti-fatness and will discuss the need for concepts that provide harm reduction to break down the walls fortifying barriers-to-care for those who are from marginalized and oppressed communities. Objectives:At the end of this seminar, participants will be prepared to Objectives: 1. Participants will understand weight inclusion and how to incorporate this lens into treatment for eating disorders and body image concerns. 2. Participants will understand the importance of a trauma informed lens when treating clients in higher weight bodies or clients who once were higher weight. 3. Participants will understand the evidence base that supports a weight-inclusive and trauma-informed lens in the treatment of eating disorders.
