How To Treat Eating Disorders In Your Practice

An Online Training With Dr. Marcella Raimondo

COMING SOON

Many clinicians discover, in the process of conducting their work, that their own client exhibits eating disorder behaviors, or in some cases, the client may suddenly disclose they have an eating disorder that’s previously never been discussed. If you haven’t worked directly with eating disorders, addressing and treating them can be anxiety producing. They can also become more complicated if you know an eating disorder is present but your client/patient refuses treatment.

This course will draw on clinical treatment in the field of eating disorders emphasizing social justice approaches. This course strives for you to feel connected and empowered with access to further consultation, specific treatment ideas and tools to implement immediately in your own practice or clinic.

3 CE credits will be offered

Investment

  • $120 for licensed professionals seeking 3 CE credits
