ICPO - The Lived Experiences of Obesity
Season 1
by Irish Coalition for People Living with Obesity (ICPO)
We are joined by five Irish men who live with the chronic relapsing disease of obesity who share their very personal lived experiences in the hope to encourage men to seek help earlier for their obesity. Also joining is Professor Donal O'Shea, HSE Clinical Lead for Obesity.
"Sticks and Stones may break my bones but names will also hurt me"We discuss and delve into why words matter in addressing weight stigma for people living with obesity. Catherine, Linda, Maura and Susie chat about their experiences and thoughts on what the outcomes are when words hurt, and how this needs to change for the future generation.
