The majority of those who struggle with eating disorders (EDs) never receive treatment, even though effective treatments for a range of eating disorders are well established (National Institute of Mental Health). there is a need to train primary care and behavioral health providers on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of eating disorders in children, adolescents, and young adults; and to appropriately screen, intervene and treat or refer patients to specialized care in an integrated setting.
This training series will be in collaboration with the National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders (NCEED), an organization founded in 2018 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The goal of this webinar series is to increase health center capacity to detect and treat eating disorders and to increase public knowledge and awareness of these illnesses. This webinar series will address both adolescent and adult populations and address co-occurring diagnoses with eating disorders, mental health, and substance use disorder.
Introduction to Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening conditions that affect a person's emotional and physical health. The earlier an eating disorder is detected, the greater the likelihood of physical and emotional recovery. Health centers are positioned to treat eating disorders well due to their integrated behavioral and primary care setting. Because of its intricate nature, eating disorders vary in their appearance and severity. Eating disorders are often a condition that is missed in ambulatory care environments, even with well-defined treatment methods available.
This first webinar will set the foundation for screening, early intervention, and prevention of eating disorders in primary care and integrated behavioral health settings.
