About the Training

The complexities of eating disorders in college students coupled with short-term treatment limitations present unique challenges for college mental health professionals in effective assessment and intervention. Mental health concerns are prevalent on college campuses, but tend to be underreported and under treated due to resource scarcity. Intersectionality must be considered to reduce assessment and treatment gaps.

This 2 CE presentation will provide an in-depth look at how to assess, treat, and refer students to the appropriate resources. Discussion will focus on barriers to treatment and evidence based care using vignettes to highlight the complexities of eating disorders and maintenance factors.
