As a form of trauma, we know that sexual violence is both experienced and remembered by the body. This presentation offers an introduction into the often-overlooked intersection of disordered eating, fatphobia, and sexual violence. Participants will learn about how sexual assault survivors are impacted by these overlapping experiences and discuss ways to better support survivors. This virtual training has been approved by the NASW TN chapter for 2 CEUs. Objectives:

1. Define eating disorders, disordered eating, and fatphobia, and discuss relevant language.
2. Identify warning signs for disordered eating and population-specific considerations.
3. Explore both small and large scale implications of these intersections and how they can present in the lives of survivors of sexual violence.
