In this episode we have the privilege of interviewing Ary Maharaj (he/him). Ary is a Registered Psychotherapist and currently works in community education at the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC). NEDIC (https://nedic.ca) provides information, resources, referrals and support to Canadians affected by eating disorders and has collaborated with OFSHEEA on the creation of its Diet Culture advisory - https://ofsheea.education/advisory-documents/. In this episode we will learn more about the services that NEDIC provides to youth, families, educators and the community and gain an understanding of what we can do as family studies educators to help break the shame, stigma and silence that affects nearly 1 million Canadians living with a diagnosable eating disorder — and the millions of others who are struggling with food and weight preoccupation. We will also talk about how teachers can support students in their classrooms who are living with an eating disorder and learn more about the resources that are available to educators to create a safe space that rejects diet culture. We hope you enjoy listening and learning from this episode as much as we did!
