The Body Positive offers continuing education training for mental health providers. Our continuing education presentation, The Body Positive's Intuitive Health™ Model: Exploring an Empowering Approach to Treating Weight and Eating Problems is now available.

The objective of this training is to teach the first competency of The Body Positive's Intuitive Health™ Model, Reclaim Health and Beauty. In particular, the training focuses on the science behind the Health at Every Size (HAES) health model. HAES is the foundation that supports intuitive and sustainable healthcare practices. With a scientifically based understanding of how bodies physiologically work, people can begin to positively change their relationships to eating and exercise. Six CEUs are provided with this training.

The course is designed to help therapists:

• Discover an ethical approach to treating clients with eating and weight problems
• Define the tenets of Health at Every Size
• Identify the biological determinants of body shape and size
• Explain why restrictive dieting is harmful to one's health, and how Health at Every Size allows for sustainable self-care behaviors
• Identify the clinical relevance of The Body Positive's Intuitive Health™ Model
• Describe the Intuitive Health™ Model's four core competencies for vibrant, healthy living
