Co-occurring eating disorders & gender distress in adolescence.
The rising number of adolescents and adults grappling with co-occurring eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa, and gender-related distress has been observed by clinicians in both the NHS and private practice. Within the clinical, academic, and activist communities, there are currently varying perspectives on the most appropriate treatment approaches and how to effectively address these interconnected challenges.
In response to this pressing need, we are pleased to present a fantastic 2-day training programme . We blend theory, practical tools, experiential exercises and real-life case studies to foster an interactive learning environment that encourages curiosity, open discussion, and critical thinking.
