Description
Whether or not you seek to specialize in treating eating disorders, it’s likely you’ve had a client in your office struggling with food, exercise, and/or body shame. Eating disorders are prevalent in our society and are a highly fatal mental health diagnosis, second to opioid use disorder. Astonishingly, comprehensive, accurate, and inclusive training and education are minimal. This presentation will provide an in-depth overview of how to assess for eating disorders and how to implement inclusive and affirming care for those struggling with food concerns and body shame.
