Description

This course does not offer CE Credits. The same course is available for purchase and offers 2 CE hours for behavioral health clinicians.  See "related products" below.

Eating disorders are among the most challenging and multifaceted mental health conditions, affecting nearly every aspect of a person’s life—emotionally, physically, and mentally. With a heightened risk of serious medical complications and suicide, treating these disorders requires a comprehensive approach that integrates psychotherapy, medical care, nutritional counseling, and psychotropic medication.

For clinicians, this demands specialized expertise across multiple disciplines. But for supervisors, this complexity demands even more. Guiding clinicians in this area requires specialized knowledge and careful attention to both ethical and practical challenges.

This course delves deeply into the ethical and practical considerations that are essential when supervising clinicians treating individuals with eating disorders.

Participants will join Dr. Melanie Smith and explore how to accurately assess clinician competency, evaluate client risk and level of care appropriateness, and discover how to access the training resources necessary to provide ethical and effective care. They will dive into the intricate emotional and behavioral dynamics that underlie eating disorders, gaining critical insights into the challenges that both therapists and clients face. 

Dr. Smith’s expertise will walk participants through the ethical, clinical, and practical considerations involved in supervising clinicians treating individuals with eating disorders, providing them with practical strategies to confidently navigate these complexities. They will acquire practical strategies to help their supervisees address client resistance, deal with the pervasive issues of weight stigma, and manage the delicate balance between treatment protocols and client autonomy.

By the end of the course, participants will have a stronger grasp of the ethical frameworks and practical tools needed to support clinicians working with this vulnerable population. Whether you’re a seasoned supervisor or new to the role, this course will elevate your skillset and ensure that you can confidently guide your team through the complexities of eating disorder treatment.
