This on-demand webinar will provide an overview of disordered eating, contributing factors, screening tools in session and where to go for more information.
As we navigate a new normal with COVID-19, it’s important to consider our environment including shared work spaces, and be mindful of changes in our bodies as a result of acute trauma experienced during pandemic responses. These changes are normal and expected as our relationship with food becomes distorted due to our propensity to use food as a coping strategy.
While food is an important part of our social lives, rituals and traditions, at times it can create disordered eating habits that aren’t so helpful. For some, the feeling of fullness is comforting and the need to feel safe triggers over-eating.
This webinar is the first step to creating awareness as to why people use food as a coping mechanism or seek foods to comfort them when feeling happy, sad or angry.
When we work on improving our relationship with food we need to recognise that we may need to develop other ways to comfort and care for our self psychically and emotionally
We are excited to have eating disorder specialist Josephine Money, Accredited Practicing Dietitian and Nutritionist, discuss the following:
