The pandemic has profoundly affected young people.
COVID isn't the only health issue. Depression, anxiety, eating disorders and disordered eating have skyrocketed since the pandemic began. The combination of many variables such as social isolation, an increased sense of loss of control, schedule disruption, and much more have contributed to this predicament.
There is hope for those suffering to recover.
The Hidden Distress webinar is an opportunity for professionals and parents to learn...
- How we got here: the interplay of COVID, social media, and teens
- The disordered eating spectrum
- What causes an eating disorder
- The role of body image in disordered eating
- Food behavior tendencies
- How to identify red flags
- How professional providers and parents can help
- RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE!
