Location: Remote

Agenda:

1:00 – 1:30 PM: The Hidden Influences Shaping How We Eat, Feel, and See Ourselves, with Jennie Kramer
1:30 – 1:45 PM: Q&A + discussion

Event focus: Conversations about food and body are rarely simple. For many, the pressures of diet culture, weight stigma, the emotional burden of trauma, and identity differences intersect in ways that complicate both self-perception and assuring self-care. Even with expert support, our unexamined biases (internal and external) or misplaced goals can distort progress, shifting the focus away from well-being and toward appearance, numbers, or quick fixes.

This is the quiet complexity of our relationship with food and body: when societal ideals, internalized shame or even treatment approaches themselves unintentionally compromise outcomes.

Join Jennie Kramer, MSW, LCSW-R, CEDS, Senior Clinical Advisor at Intent Clinical, for a clinically grounded exploration of the nuanced dynamics that shape relationships to food and body image, including:

• How cultural forces and weight stigma quietly undermine care and recovery
• Why focusing on body size most often pulls us further away from health, resilience, and functionality
• What early cues can help us recognize disordered patterns before they escalate
• How families, clinicians, and advisors can create environments that support sustainable change

Whether you work in clinical care, family advisory, education, or another discipline that supports individuals and families, this conversation will offer insight into recognizing distorted dynamics as they unfold, keeping care aligned with the individual’s needs, and protecting against the subtle risks of bias, stigma, and accommodation.
