Fall Ferguson - Health at Every Size
Fall Ferguson,
JD, MA, is an educator and health activist. She teaches full-time in the
Masters of Health Education program at John F. Kennedy University. "I
am passionate about transformative health education. The best educators
create a container for learning where experimentation with new
perspectives feels safe—free from judgment and consequences.
Unfortunately, most health and nutrition educators think their job is to
get people to stop behaving one way and start behaving another way. I
find that so limiting. My vision of health education is to help people
make shifts in their lives toward meaning, toward purpose, toward
connection, toward joy. Only meaningful changes, motivated
intrinsically, will be sustainable and health-promoting in the long
term."
Ferguson has also served as President of the Association for Size
Diversity and Health (ASDAH) since 2012. ASDAH is an international
non-profit that promotes education, research, and health services that
are free from weight-based assumptions and weight discrimination. ASDAH
advocates for a Health At Every Size® (HAES®) approach promoting weight
inclusivity, health enhancement, respectful care, eating for well-being,
and life-enhancing movement. "I am extremely proud of ASDAH’s recent
expansion of the HAES model to address healthism, intersectionality, and
social justice concerns. Any health advocacy group that is not
confronting the social determinants of health risks becoming part of the
problem." A regular contributor to the Health At Every Size Blog,
Ferguson writes about a wide range of health policy and health activism
topics.
