This presentation seeks to clarify the RDs role in the treatment of eating disorders and provide helpful ways of developing a therapeutic relationship with patients. A brief overview of eating disorder diagnoses will be provided, with an emphasis on OSFED and Atypical Anorexia Nervosa (AAN). Medical complications of eating disorders will be identified along with helpful tools for resolving them. Therapeutic techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) will be explained, along with techniques of how to incorporate these helpful modalities in nutrition counseling.

The target audience for this continuing education program is mental health providers, dietitians, medical providers, and educators working with individuals with mental health diagnoses. Materials are appropriate for learners with an introductory level of understanding about mental health concerns.

As mentioned in the email that went out I am so sorry that the event details have changed but unfortunately we can't fly our speaker in from Denver with everything that's going on and I'm also unclear as to whether Maggiano's will event be open in time for our event.

I will be reaching out to Coco to see if we can schedule something else for the summer either another educational event or just a networking mixer or dinner to get everyone together as I'm sure by that time we're all going to be a little stir crazy and will want an excuse to meet!
