Free Continuing Education Webinar - Boys and Men Get Eating Disorders Too: Diagnosing and Treating This Overlooked Population (sponsored by Equip Health)
In honor of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Equip Health is offering a free webinar titled – Boys & Men Get Eating Disorders Too: Diagnosing and Treating This Overlooked Population
When: 27 de febrero de 2024 from 12:30-1:30pm
About the Event: Studies suggest up to 40% of people with eating disorders are boys & men, yet the harmful stereotype that eating disorders only occur in girls and women persists. Loved ones and healthcare providers are slow to recognize eating disorders in boys and men, resulting in years of unnecessary suffering. This presentation will bring together clinical expertise and lived experience to highlight how eating disorders present in males and what treatment looks like.
Learning objectives: After participating in this session, attendees should be able to:
- Recognize warning signs for eating disorders in boys & men
- Use diagnostic criteria to provide accurate and timely eating disorder diagnoses for boys & men
- Explain eating disorder diagnoses to men and their loved ones
- Advise boys & men with eating disorders on effective eating disorder treatment
Discussion will be led by Equip co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, Erin Parks, PhD.
