Whether you are a young therapist or a seasoned therapist, one thing remains true - WE ARE NOT TAUGHT ENOUGH ABOUT EATING DISORDERS IN GRAD SCHOOL.

"I wouldn't touch an eating disorder client with a 10 foot poll" - but you already have them on your caseload.
"I have a client that shared they have an eating disorder, but I have no idea what to do next?" - also not your fault.
"How do I screen for an eating disorder"?

I want to help others feel more competent helping clients with eating disorders and offer you:
