Key Nutrition Concepts for Therapists Treating Eating Disorders Without a Dietitian

CE Hours 1.25

About this course

Join us for a continuing education event hosted by Accanto Health and presented by Hilmar Wagner, MPH, RDN, LN, CD. There is no fee to attend this course. The gold standard of eating disorder treatment is a multidisciplinary team. However, many outpatient therapists do not have access to ED-informed team members such as dietitians and medical professionals. In this session, we will discuss the underlying rationale used by dietitians to treat eating disorders; nutrition strategies and approaches; ways you can be supportive of your client’s disordered eating behaviors; and how to find and collaborate with an ED-informed nutrition professional. You are responsible for your individual requirements as stipulated by your licensing agency. Please contact your individual licensing board/regulatory agency to review continuing education requirements for licensure renewal. Please reach out to outreach@accanto.com with questions.

Learning Objectives

  • State two nutrition strategies used to reduce disordered eating behaviors
  • Identify two factors that must be present for individuals to successfully transition to using interoceptive cues
  • Articulate at least two reasons why collaborating with an ED-informed dietitian improves their client's recovery efforts
