Who
Jasmine Jaquess, provisional licensed counselor and recovery coach, and Dr. Marianne Miller discussed the topics of eating disorders, disordered eating, values-based treatment, impacts of diagnosis, intersectionality and oppression, food deserts, and lack of resources as they relate to racial and ethnic eating traditions.

What

Both speakers encouraged viewers to not be afraid to dress up favorite foods and explore new options.

They concluded that understanding food deserts, lack of resources, and racial and ethnic eating traditions is key to creating a more inclusive approach to treatment.
