It takes a village to raise a child, as the old adage says. Sometimes it takes a village to heal a child. This workshop will discuss why it takes more than a single professional to support recovery from an eating disorder. Eating disorders will be viewed from a multi-causal perspective – looking at how emotional, relational, physical and spiritual factors are involved in both the genesis of the disorder and the path to recovery. The need for an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach will be presented, as well as strategies for long-term recovery from persistent eating disorder behaviors and conditions, including nutritional strategies.
Content Outline:
1. Understand the “whole-person” approach to recovery from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating through integration of emotional, relational, physical and spiritual factors.
2. Learn recovery strategies for persistent eating disorder behaviors and conditions, including nutritional strategies.
