HAES UK is launching today!

An independent non-profit based in the UK, the group is open to all who support its mission, which entails a HAES (Health At Every Size) approach to healthcare, policy and research. HAES UK seeks to challenge weight-based discrimination, which they see as disrespectful and harmful to individual and community well-being.

HAES UK is committed to the following aims:

To examine and publish scientific evidence supporting non-weight-based approaches to healthcare.
To promote an accurate Health at Every Size (HAES) approach.
To highlight and challenge weight-based discrimination in all areas of social life.

Thank you!
Sorry you couldn't make it, I hope you feel better soon.

On another note, have you looked in the Guardian's "Comment is Free" section recently?...
