FURTHERING EDUCATION
ASSESSING FOR SEVERE EATING DISORDERS AND RELATED MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS: TOOLS FOR CASE MANAGERS
August 9, 2021, hosted by ERC and ACUTE Denver
In this webinar, the RN and case manager reviewed the clinical signs and symptoms of eating disorders by diagnoses covering anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, ARFID, and AN-DM1. I thought this webinar was valuable to better understand the severity of cases seen in in-patient eating disorder care. I also learned more about AN-DM1, which I did not know much about before which was very beneficial.
FOOD INSECURITY - CAREERS AND CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
August 5, 2021, hosted by Diversify Dietetics
In this webinar, a panel discussed food insecurity, a food bank's short term impacts on these issues, and the RD's role in helping clients through food insecurity and advocating for communities. Additionally, the importance of food pantries on college campuses were addressed to highlight a lesser known population of food insecure individuals. I loved that they addressed the college aged population, as this is a very real and close issue to me.
NAVIGATING GRIEF AND TRAUMA: A DISCUSSION OF TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
July 30, 2021, hosted by ERC
In this webinar, presenters provided participants with tools and techniques on how to counsel patients who have trauma in an inclusive and safe way. Although I learned of trauma informed care relatively recently, I thought it was important for me to continue learning about this topic as I believe it to be very important when caring for populations with eating disorders, as many patients will have concurring trauma that also affects their eating.
FOOD APARTHEID: DISHING OUT DISPARITY
April 20, 2021
In this presentation, a panel of presenters discussed the issue of food apartheid and reinforced how policy and advocacy are so important in seeing change in our communities. It also highlighted the logistical piece that needs to be addressed on top of that to get initiatives off the ground.
GOING VIRTUAL: TRANSITIONING AN EATING DISORDERS TREATMENT TEAM DURING THE PANDEMIC
February 11, 2021, hosted by ERC

ETHICS OF EXCLUDING AND INCLUDING EXERCISE IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENT
January 15, 2021, hosted by CTEDS
In this webinar, the presenter explored how movement can be a part of eating disorder recovery and potentially should be a part of recovery to promote healthy and sustainable habits.
