Childhood and adolescence are times of growth and development and, thus, periods of increased risk of eating disorders. Assessing growth and development accurately, without weight bias, is essential for the healthcare provider in the screening, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders in pediatric patients.

Eating disorders are complex illnesses that often require expert interdisciplinary treatment, yet specialist care is increasingly limited. Many individuals with eating disorder symptoms can be managed by non-specialist mental health providers. This can be done either as a precursor to specialist treatment or as a component of treatment the mental health clinician may already be providing.
In this webinar, we present evidence-based methods for detecting eating disorders among children, adolescents, and adults in your clinical practice. We discuss the ways in which eating disorder symptoms may be more salient in your practice now in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. You also learn information on best practices for non-specialist mental health providers including brief therapy models, strategies for bridging care until a patient is established with a specialist team, and ways to incorporate eating disorder-informed interventions into existing treatment plans.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
- Identify evidence-based tools for identifying and assessing eating disorders.
- Discuss best practices for non-specialist management of eating disorders including stepped-care strategies and guidelines for referring to specialist care.
- List available resources for treatment referrals, ongoing eating disorder education, and support communities.
