In January 2024, we hosted a panel discussion exploring GLP-1 medications, sparking an important conversation about these treatments and their impact. Now, a year later, we’re returning to continue that dialogue—bringing new insights, complexities, and questions to the table.
In this two-part webinar series, we’ll take a closer look at GLP-1 medications through a Body Trust lens. The first webinar unpacks their risks, benefits, and contraindications. Anyone who is seeking more information is welcome. The second webinar is a professional skills training and will focus on navigating ethical, client-centered conversations about GLP-1s using Motivational Interviewing.
WHAT TO EXPECT
WEBINAR 1
GLP-1 MEDICATIONS: EXPANDING THE DIALOGUE AROUND RISKS & BENEFITS
The landscape of GLP-1 medications is rapidly evolving, raising critical questions about their benefits, risks, and ethical considerations. In this 90-minute webinar, we’ll explore the science and practical implications of GLP-1 agonists through the lens of Body Trust, fostering a compassionate and holistic approach to this complex topic.
Together, we’ll dive into the history and current use of GLP-1 medications, examine their risks and benefits in managing diabetes as opposed to weight loss, and address contraindications for individuals with eating disorders. This is a space to engage in meaningful dialogue about the intersections of medical treatment, ethics, and Body Trust principles.
What You’ll Learn:
- Gain a clear understanding of GLP-1 medications: their past, present, and future.
- Explore risks, benefits, and ethical considerations for diabetes and weight loss.
- Understand contraindications for people with eating disorders through a Body Trust-informed lens.
Join us to deepen your understanding of this evolving topic while staying rooted in the values of respect, dignity, and weight-inclusion.
CEUs available. Recording will be available for 30 days.
WEBINAR 2
NAVIGATING CLINICAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT GLP-1 MEDICATIONS
Talking about GLP-1 medications with clients can feel fraught—there’s so much to navigate, from their hopes and fears to the systemic issues that shape these decisions. This webinar is here to help you find your way. Grounded in the principles of Motivational Interviewing and the Body Trust framework, we’ll explore how to approach these conversations with care, skill, and an unwavering commitment to centering body sovereignty and trust.
Using real-world examples and case studies, we’ll guide you through how to engage clients in collaborative, values-aligned discussions. This includes providing information without pressure, staying present to the ethical complexities, and rooting the work in dignity and consent.
What You’ll Learn:
- Revisit the spirit of Motivational Interviewing and learn practical tools for client-centered conversations.
- Use the “Explore-Offer-Explore” framework to share information while honoring client autonomy.
- Bring a Body Trust perspective to conversations about weight loss medications, navigating systemic and personal complexities with care.
Join us for this interactive session where we’ll wrestle with the tensions of this work and offer tools to support meaningful, relational conversations.
CEUs available. Recording will be available for 30 days.
