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.
