Modify verbiage in eating disorder section of Wiley Treatment Planners
The eating disorders section of the Wiley Treatment Planners uses some terms that are problematic such as "obesity" and "BMI". Change these in the system so I don't have to edit them every time I create a treatment plan.

Yes, it's important that your subcontractors (Wiley) are using non-oppressive language in their products. It's a reflection on TheraNest when they aren't. Clients have to review treatment plans and it damages the therapeutic relationship to be associated with this awful language. Please do better and become culturally competent.

The eating disorder section for the Wiley tx planner and notes needs to be fixed. The title itself includes "obesity." The BMI has actually been found to be very problematic and is based on non-medically relevant statistics. Additionally, under eating disorders, there are phrases such as "Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height (i.e., body weight less than 85% of that expected)." This statement is inherently harmful and does not account for the natural diversity in body size and shapes. The Wiley tx planner/notes needs to be updated to approach eating disorders from a weight neutral and health at every size model.
