Disordered Eating in Men

Are you constantly fixating on what you eat and hitting your macros? Do you feel like the pursuit of the body you ‘should have’ is getting in the way of your relationships, your hobbies, and enjoying your life? If you share any of these concerns or just want to learn more about the ways that men are uniquely impacted by disordered eating, this workshop is for you. This year’s Eating Disorder Awareness Week theme is ‘Health Doesn’t Have a Look’ and eating disorders don’t have a look either. In this session, we will examine the intersections of masculinity and relationship to food, body, and culture.

Led by a certified counsellor from the Provincial Eating Disorder Prevention and Recovery Program, this workshop is for men, masculine people, service providers, or anyone 16+.

You will explore:

· ways disordered eating can show up in men

· diet culture language through the lens of masculinity

· the specific impacts of masculinity and diet culture on queer and trans men

· current trends in disordered eating language and behaviour

· how to identify and get help for disordered eating

This workshop takes place online. You will be sent a Teams link in the reminder email sent prior to the session – you can join from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. You’re welcome and encouraged to eat your lunch during the workshop!
