Description: Eating Disorders are on the rise. Research indicates that the incidence of eating disorders in teens has doubled during the pandemic. Because eating disorders can have irreversible physical consequences in youth it is important for all mental health professionals to understand the different eating disorder diagnoses, high-risk groups, how to screen and assess, and understand referral parameters for specialty ED treatment.

Eating disorders are secretive illnesses where individuals often minimize, hide and rationalize ED behaviors and physical changes.  It is rare that they seek help on their own. Because of this, professionals working with children and adolescents are in a unique position to identify ED warning signs and refer individuals for treatment. Early detection and intervention are correlated with better outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how to identify eating disorder warning signs and refer individuals for treatment.
2. Understand the different eating disorder diagnoses & high-risk groups for these diagnoses.
3. Discover how to screen and assess for eating disorders, and understand referral parameters for specialty ED treatment.
