Feedback Survey
Current research shows that eating disorders disproportionately impact transgender and gender-expansive individuals. In this workshop, we will explore how to address co-occurring issues of gender dysphoria, disordered eating, and body image issues. We will highlight both the basics of gender affirmative clinical care and the basics of effective eating disorder treatment. We will then present numerous strategies that we have adapted to support gender-diverse individuals in addressing the many core beliefs that perpetuate these issues.
