EVALUATION FORM If you haven't yet, please complete the workshop evaluation form<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=C92AT4wzTE6KFJBEaWL3uKT…> by this weekend. This is the last required component for your attendance. The survey has an opportunity to sign up to be on our newsletter, where we'll share future opportunities for community engagement and training in poverty awareness and EIA. SUPPORT CIRCLE If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, we encourage you to apply to be a volunteer advocate through our PACA Support Circle<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=C92AT4wzTE6KFJBEaWL3uKT…>.

New learning resource: Language Guide
by MAHN Info 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

Dear MAHN students, Please see attached resource produced by the Manitoba Eating Disorders Committee for all healthcare providers on helpful language when discussing eating, weight, and mental health. They are hoping to spread the attached resource far and wide - particularly to doctors, nurses/NPs, mental health workers, etc. across the province. NEW LEARNING RESOURCE: Enhancing conversations about eating, weight, and mental health: a starting point for Manitoba healthcare providers Situation Based on data from international research suggesting a 4-5% prevalence rate in North America, an estimated 53,000 to 67,000 people in Manitoba have symptoms sufficient for an eating disorder diagnosis. Even more are impacted with eating, weight, or mental health challenges that have not been supported yet. Language matters, and many healthcare providers are unsure about how to talk about these topics in a way that builds trust and contributes to effective patient care. What we've done Healthcare providers across Manitoba who have experience working in eating disorders met over the period of 6 months to co-write an introductory, four-page guide that any healthcare provider can pick up and use. This resource provides suggestions for how healthcare providers can implement weight-inclusive language when talking about weight, disease management, and behaviour changes with adult patients. What we want you to do 1. Read this resource. Consider how to implement its learnings into your practice. 2. Share with fellow healthcare providers (e.g., team meetings, newsletters, online messages, conversations) For questions, contact: Katie Kroeker kkroeker(a)pmh-mb.ca<mailto:kkroeker@pmh-mb.ca> Regards, Kam Wan Master of Applied Human Nutrition (MAHN) Program Assistant Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences University of Manitoba 190 Dysart Rd | W575 Duff Roblin 204-474-6564 Follow MAHN on Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/um_mahn/> | Follow MAHN on LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/um-mahn/about/> The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate and Dene, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
