April 24. 2026 | 12pm - 3:15 pm ET<br>Presenter: Corinne Orr, LPC<br><br>Rethinking Eating Disorders: The Role of Identity in Clinical Understanding and Care<br><br>Eating disorders are often misunderstood as conditions that primarily affect cisgender,<br>heterosexual, white women, which contributes to the under-recognition of these concerns across<br>diverse identities and populations. This training challenges that narrative by examining eating<br>disorders through a biopsychosocial and multicultural lens, with particular attention to how<br>minority stress and identity-related factors shape the development and maintenance of disordered<br>eating. Attendees will gain an overview of eating disorder presentations, including forms that are<br>frequently overlooked or considered atypical.<br><br>Attendees will be introduced to practical, evidence-based strategies for diagnosis, case conceptualization, and intervention. Through applied examples, attendees will strengthen their ability to deliver affirming, culturally responsive, and effective care for individuals experiencing eating disorders in diverse communities<br><br>This course has been approved for 3 CEUs by Ohio CSWMFT & AASECT.
