This is an in-person training, facilitated by Dr. Marcuetta Sims. She will iron out ways to effectively diagnose and treat clients with eating disorders.
[This presentation is designed with special consideration when working with communities of color.]

CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS:
In this presentation, there will be discussions around the cultural differences on the presentation of eating disorders and disordered eating. This presentation is created with the understanding that communities of color and populations are not historically considered in eating disorder clinical presentations. Attendees will also explore a range of cultural/diverse demographics within case examples.
