It is estimated that over 28 million Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime. While they affect people of all ages and backgrounds, adolescents are often at heightened risk for development of eating disorders, due to a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Social media is one of these contributing factors, which can negatively impact self-image and body image, and in turn reinforce risk for eating disorders.

Please join us for this 2 CE presentation where we will explore the most common eating disorder diagnoses – anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), and Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder (OSFED) – by defining each disorder and identifying signs and symptoms. From there, we will share assessment ideas and tools, followed by considerations for appropriate treatment options. We will also highlight social media’s impacts on body image and self-esteem, which often generates unrealistic standards and may contribute to the development of eating disorders. Lastly, we’ll close out the presentation, within this context of digital and social media, how students can build a better relationship with their body.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to identify the 4 most common eating disorders.
2. Participants will be able to identify 3 warning signs of each of the 4 eating disorders.
3. Participants will be able to name 3 assessment tools to assess students

Presenter: Serina Payan Hazelwood MAIS, CSE

Workshop Description:

I have great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going. I have respect for the past, but I'm a person of the moment. I'm here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I'm at, then I go forward to the next place.

~Maya Angelou

In today's diverse and interconnected world, understanding the historical underpinnings of societal structures is essential for effective and inclusive praxis across various disciplines. This comprehensive workshop is designed to illuminate the intricate web of colonialism's influence on contemporary practices.

The workshop will delve into the history of colonialism and the systems created from it. Through an engaging exploration of historical narratives and their implications, participants will gain a profound understanding of how colonial ideologies, power dynamics, and socio-economic structures were established and perpetuated. By tracing the roots of these systems, participants will uncover the ways in which they continue to manifest in present-day contexts, affecting fields such as education, healthcare, politics, and social work.

Key areas of focus will include historical context, impact on praxis, and collaborative solutions. By attending this workshop, participants may reevaluate their perspective on their professional roles and the broader societal context. They will gain the tools needed to challenge deeply ingrained colonial narratives, thereby promoting inclusivity, social justice, and positive change in their respective fields. In an era where acknowledging historical realities is imperative for ethical and effective praxis, this workshop offers a timely opportunity to bridge the gap between past and present, ultimately shaping a more humanizing future.
