About the Event

Eating disorders and substance use disorders are often treated in silos. Providers, treatment centers, and treatment modalities are often separated for these two types of disorders. For many clients who struggle with both, this can result in a very frustrating experience of seeing improvement in goals with one disorder while getting significantly worse with the other. This presentation will provide an overview of eating disorders and substance use disorders. Additionally, the presentation will address the need to assess for and treat these disorders simultaneously rather than separately. It may feel like a big task and we hope this presentation will help clinicians feel more empowered and competent in working with all aspects of a client's experience.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
