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.

Dear Students, You may be aware of a potential health care support worker strike on October 8 that may affect your current practicum placement. We understand that this situation may cause concern and uncertainty, and we want to assure you that we are closely monitoring the developments. We will follow up directly with any student that is impacted should a strike occur. In the event your preceptor is involved in a strike or job action, your placements will be on hold until job action is resolved. Decisions regarding placements will be determined based upon the nature of strike action and the impact on the employer. Students will still be required to complete the minimum 1250 hours of practicum training to graduate the MAHN program. Depending on the length of job action, students may have their program extended if they are at risk of not achieving the minimum required practicum hours or required competencies. At this time, please continue with your current schedules and reach out to your preceptors or MAHN.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:MAHN.info@umanitoba.ca> if you have any immediate concerns or questions. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time. We appreciate your dedication and resilience as we navigate this situation together. Sincerely, Jessica Jessica Rutherford RD, MSc Master of Applied Human Nutrition (MAHN) Coordinator Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences University of Manitoba
