While the intersection of fat liberation and parenting can be an amazing counter-cultural, anti-oppression practice, it can also feel like a lonely place.
But you're not alone and you deserve community.
I searched for this group like this for ages and couldn’t find one, so I decided to create it! Fat Parent Connections will be an opportunity to gather with other fat parents who *get* it; receive and lend support; and share the joys & challenges of raising resilient children.
The group will be facilitated by me, Laurie Ganberg, LICSW. I’m a fat therapist, group facilitator, and parent, but it's not therapy. It's a chance to create community with other fat parents who value raising kids to trust their bodies, free from diet-culture and anti-fat bias. And you can join from anywhere!
Logistics
This group will meet over zoom
For parents of all genders who identify as fat*
Small group capped at 8 participants
The next Connections offering will begin in early 2024!
* This group is just for fat parents (small fat and larger), but you don't need to identify with these specific labels. There are so few spaces that are exclusively for fat folks, I want this to be one of them.
