April 25, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
1 PM Central Time
(11 AM Pacific Time, 12 PM Mountain Time, 2 PM Eastern)
This BHN webinar is brought to you by: Carolina House
Synopsis: Though eating disorders disproportionately affect transgender people, there is a paucity of research and teaching on assessment and management of eating disorders in this population. This presentation will provide an introduction to transgender care, including discussion of basic terminology, gender-inclusive practice recommendations, dietary considerations for this population, and gender-affirming medical care. It will also address the complex presentation of eating disorders among transgender individuals, as well as approaches to nutrition therapy among this population.
