    Gain insight into the impact of diet culture, wellness culture, and weight bias on eating disorder development and treatment. Learn strategies to create a more inclusive and sensitive treatment environment.

  6. Harm Reduction Approaches to ED Treatment:

    Explore harm reduction strategies that equip clinicians to offer effective, compassionate care for clients who may not seek full recovery but wish to reduce the negative impacts of their behaviors. This approach emphasizes honoring each client’s autonomy and choice, supporting them in defining their own unique recovery goals.

  7. Liberation Psychology and Eating Disorder Treatment:

    Critically explore how white supremacy has shaped the ED field, perpetuating the marginalization of queer, fat, and BIPOC voices. This training highlights the transformative work of visionary BIPOC experts such as Allyson Inez-Ford, Gloria Lucas, and Drs. Jennifer Mullan, Sabrina Strings, and Jennie Wang-Hall, whose ideas challenge the long-standing oppressive and racist ideologies embedded within traditional ED pedagogy. You'll gain tools to apply their ideas within a liberation framework, helping clients build a recovery process that centers their lived experience and voice, challenging the oppressive recovery narratives typical of Western Psychology approaches and the Medical Industrial Complex.

With 10+ years of training professionals on eating disorder work, my workshops are designed to be interactive and engaging, providing participants with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively treat clients with eating disorders. Additional topics can be offered based on your organization’s needs.
