Supporting Clients with Disordered Eating: Transforming Relationships with Food

This interactive workshop teaches participants the fundamental skills to recognise and treat disordered eating with clarity and confidence.

Description

Aim

Participants will learn an evidence-based, proven framework to lead clients from disordered eating to intuitive eating, including navigating the messy in-between stages. They will have the opportunity to practise essential skills like picking up on red flags, taking a food history in a non-judgemental way, and writing meal plans that don’t fuel a diet mentality.
