Childhood Feeding Neglect and Trauma in Developing Eating Disorders

A webinar for professionals by

Elizabeth Jackson, MS, RDN, LDN

Neglect and trauma in childhood cause lasting scars. Very specifically, neglect and trauma in the arena of feeding and eating–not enough food, aversive foods, adult agendas for food intake, criticism of bodies or eating, the table as overt or covert battleground–can underlie our patients’ enduring and serious eating and weight struggles. With increasing national food insecurity, these issues may worsen. This webinar will be an introduction to the topic with ideas about how RDs can approach this sensitive topic during intakes and treatment while staying within our scope of practice.

Upon successful completion of the exam, you will receive 1 Level II CEUs from the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
