About the event: Eating disorders affect people across the gender spectrum–in fact, they disproportionately affect transgender and non-conforming (TGNC) folks. For example, transgender college students are 4x more likely to have an eating disorder diagnosis. This presentation, which will focus on building knowledge and competency for treating eating disorders within this population, will include an overview on terminology, risk factors, and symptoms. We will also provide general strategies for assessing and treating eating disorders through an intersectional lens.
There will be time for Q&A.
Learning objectives: After participating in this session, attendees should be able to:
- Describe the reasons why transgender individuals are at higher risk for eating disorders.
- Summarize gender-affirming care principles and how they apply to clinical eating disorder treatment.
- Identify actionable steps for implementing gender affirming eating disorder care in your specific professional and organizational context.
