This section is meant for those healthcare and other professionals who know little to nothing about eating disorders or disordered eating and want to learn more in order to support their professional practice. It is also where you will find information on weight bias, as it is associated with increased risk for developing eating disorders and is known to have an impact on treatment outcomes. Additionally, you will find information on weight science and opportunities for training that that every clinician needs to know, in order to become “eating disorders-informed.”
Given the increase in prevalence, long wait times for specialized services, and the need for more equitable access to support and treatment for those with eating disorders, EDO is developing resources and training to support professionals on this learning journey.
