Title: Eating Disorders are a Social Justice Issue
Speaker Bio:
Ary Maharaj (he/him) is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and strongly dislikes both boxes and binaries. Hence, he's trying his best to be a clinical practitioner, community facilitator, and contribute to policy at the same time. He currently works in community education at the National Eating Disorder Information Centre and provides reduced-cost psychotherapy through Hard Feelings Mental Health. At Sheena's Place, he's honoured to co-facilitate free, group-based support for BIPOC folks experiencing disordered eating. He is immensely passionate about practicing from a place of cultural humility and aims to balance recognizing the impact of systemic injustices on mental health with creating spaces that allow people to have breathing room to experience collective healing.
