Eating disorders can be so tough to spot.
You might think, “I’ve never had a client with an eating disorder.”
But here’s the truth – you’ll likely have clients with eating disorders in your caseload at some point, whether you recognise it or not.
Unfortunately, because graduate programs and clinical placements offer limited if any training on eating disorders, too few clinicians are prepared to help, and too many clients go untreated.
And with a cascade of potential psychological comorbidities and medical complications – plus a worsening trajectory the longer the eating disorder operates – the stakes are high.
Now you can get the skills, tools, and confidence you need to identify and safely work with clients with eating disorders right away – without needing to be a specialist. Watch eating disorder expert Marcella Raimondo, PhD, MPA – whose lived experience with anorexia informs her approach – in this essential training that pays attention to what so many others miss – the social justice component of eating disorders treatment.
Whether you knew from the start about their eating disorder, or were deep in your work before your client trusted you enough to share their symptoms, you’ll learn:
PURCHASE TODAY so you can help your clients take back control of their lives!
