ARFID: What, Why, and How to Approach Clients with Avoidant Restrictive Food and Intake Disorder
Event description
Join us for the first of our virtual series this year! Together our iaedp chapter is collaborating with treatment center sponsors to reach farther into the community. With each virtual presentation we are celebrating and serving the audience of community mental health providers. Together we are educating folks on eating disorders and best practices in this field.
For this "lunch and learn" we will be giving away 10 Uber Eats $25 gift cards to the first 10 Community Mental Health Agency Providers! On the day of the presentation you will be emailed your coupon.
This program will offer 1.5 CEs; iaedp is an approved continuing education provider with NBCC and CPE.
After this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Articulate main differences between the three main ARFID categories
- Compare and contrast an ARFID diagnosis from other eating disorder diagnoses
- Describe at least one treatment approach for clients exhibiting each of the three ARFID categories
The link for the presentation will be sent out the night before and the day of the presentation. Questions? Contact iaedpwnc@gmail.com
