Live Event Date: Mar 18, 2021

Overview:
Do you feel that you can identify disordered eating in a client or patient? Nutrition counseling for disordered eating is a specialized area of practice. Most dietitians learn little about eating disorders if it is not their chosen area of practice. This webinar aims to provide basic information for all dietitians, especially those who do not specialize in prevention and treatment of disordered eating. Current criteria for diagnosing and identifying disordered eating will be well defined. The role of dietitians in promoting versus preventing unhealthy relationships with food will be discussed. Case study examples will be examined to apply learned information, and the presenter will plan time to answer questions about disordered eating.

• Screen clients/patients for DE attitudes & behaviors.
