From Linda Bacon: I’ve created the HAES Pledge, Registry, and Resource List with support and advice from members of the HAES community. My intent is to strengthen the HAES movement: to help support people in adopting HAES and to help those of us in the HAES community get better connected and develop our ideas. Follow the link to learn more about my book, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight. Or, to learn more about my work in general, visit www.LindaBacon.org.
