POSTPONED – EATING DISORDERS 101: WHAT NON-SPECIALISTS NEED TO KNOW
FACILITATORS; DR. KATHERINE HENDERSON, C. PSYCH & DR. SHARI MAYMAN, C. PSYCH
In light of recent developments surrounding COVID-19 and following Ottawa Public Health’s guidelines, we have decided to POSTPONE Eating Disorders 101. We are looking forward to the workshop and will be setting a new date when it is safe. Health care professionals can continue registering for the workshop by purchasing a free ticket on eventbrite. Once a new date has been set, payment can be made.
Eating disorders affect about 1 million Canadians, and tend to hide behind other mental health conditions. If you are a mental health practitioner, it is almost certain that you have individuals with eating disorders among your clients. However, the majority of clinicians have received little to no training in the area and lack confidence in assessing and treating individuals with ED.
This 1-day workshop is designed specifically for the non-specialist and is meant to boost comfort and skills in the following: recognizing eating disorders in your clients, increasing clients’ readiness for specialized treatment, and beginning intervention while they wait for these services.
The day will be facilitated by Drs. Katherine Henderson and Shari Mayman, co-directors of Anchor Psychological Services. Drs. Mayman and Henderson bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of eating disorders, in both intensive hospital-based programs and in private practice. They have provided training on eating disorders for practitioners in a variety of settings both locally and internationally.
Please join us at the lovely Britannia Yacht club for a workshop in view of the Ottawa River in springtime.
Please note this workshop is for health care professionals.
