Research shows that members of marginalized groups, such as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and people in larger bodies face barriers and stigma which contribute to mental health issues and eating disorders. We will discuss the impact of marginalization and privilege such as microaggressions, overt discrimination, and systemic bias.
