ASDAH 2008 CONFERENCE: JULY 12 - 14, 2008
NAAFA 2008 CONFERENCE: JULY 9 – 13, 2008
Incorporating a holistic approach, this year’s ASDAH conference theme seeks to engage all aspects of how individuals and organizations make the shift to the HAES paradigm. Professionals from a variety of disciplines - health-related, academic, organizational, and socio-cultural - will have the opportunity to both present and benefit from a wide range of programming. Once again we will overlay the ASDAH Conference and the NAAFA Convention to provide an excellent opportunity to network together and support both organizations.
ASDAH will also offer a half-day Symposium (co-sponsored by NAAFA) on Friday, July 11: HAES 101, The Basics: What, Why and How to Promote Positive Health Practices. This symposium will address the basic principles and history of HAES and present an overview of how to put HAES into practice in a variety of professions and fields of interest. An afternoon lunch and intensive workshop for clinicians will be available following the Symposium. While designed primarily for professionals new to the HAES paradigm and local to the Los Angeles area, those attending either the NAAFA Convention or ASDAH Conference will be able attend the morning Symposium as part of their convention/conference package (reservation required).
