Recognizing Harmful Diet Culture in Clinical Work

CE Hours 1.5

About this live event

Diet culture is everywhere! And until you know what to look for, it can be hiding in plain sight. This course will provide clinicians with an in-depth exploration of diet culture: what it is, why it’s harmful, how to spot it in day to day life, and how to reframe it. As a clinician, clients with eating disorders and disordered eating will absolutely come across your caseload. Knowing how to spot diet culture language and behaviors can help to catch disordered eating early and allow clients to get the proper support sooner rather than later.
