Eating Disorders: The Impact of Trauma’s Relationship to Food and the Body

Overview
Eating disorders are complex disorders with increasing prevalence, and they continue to be a physical and mental health concern. Thinking of eating disorders in absolutes leaves those in the gray areas of disordered eating to feel isolated and unable to access care. This training aims to improve understanding of eating disorders and disordered eating, to look beyond the known diagnoses into disordered eating patterns, and trauma’s relationship to food and the body. Mental health providers will learn assessment skills, including identification of the gray areas and red flags of disordered eating, and therapeutic techniques to support the client and the population in which the clinician serves. Resources specific to eating disorders and disordered eating will be provided. A case presentation will be included, along with opportunities for questions and discussion. This training is intended for field-based mental health and outreach workers in Los Angeles County.
