Unpacking Weight Stigma for Larger Bodies is a counseling group held by the Employee Assistance Program. Weight stigma describes the negative biases, attitudes, and behavior towards people based on their weight and size. This stigma is held up by social expectations that tell us how we should eat and look, and that we will be accepted if our bodies look a certain way. This stigma impacts both the physical and mental health of people with larger bodies. In this group, we will meet weekly for a brief introduction on a particular dynamic of weight stigma, and then group members can explore how the topic shows up in their lives and impacts them. Members can receive support from others who understand their experiences and can gain new perspective and tools. This is a virtual group that meets Tuesdays from 11 am-12 pm from 10/15/24-12/3/24. A pre-group interview is required to join the group. Those interested in joining should email eap@austin.utexas.edu to schedule a pre-group meeting with the facilitator to learn more. Email eap@austin.utexas.edu to schedule your meeting.

Panel of previous postdocs will discuss their experience as a fellow, their job search, and accepting a tenure-track appointment at UT Austin *Open to Early Career Fellows and Faculty Only*
