According to the National Eating Disorders Association, nearly 11 million people in the United States are fighting a life and death battle with an eating disorder. Eating disorders affect people from all walks of life regardless of age or gender, and are treatable. If you know someone suffering from an eating disorder, what can you do to help?
This free webinar reviews the prevalence and risk factors for eating disorders and explains why early intervention, treatment, and support are essential. Presenters discuss how to identify the signs and symptoms of eating disorders and present the Mental Health First Aid 5-step action plan to help those who are developing these signs and symptoms or are in crisis. After the presentation, the webinar is open for your questions.
Please sign in early for the live event; attendance is limited to the first 1,000 participants. A free audio recording and a copy of the webinar presentation will be available after the event.
