FREE Webinar:
Motherhood & Eating Disorder Recovery in the Age of COVID-19
A Discussion Forum with Melainie Rogers, MS, RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S and Jennifer Kreatsoulas, PhD, E-RYT 500, C-IAYT
Tuesday, March 2nd at 12:00-1:30 pm EST
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
As mothers and professional women who have undergone their own eating disorder recovery, Melainie & Jennifer seek to bring other women together to discuss how they are coping with and navigating the challenges of raising their children in the current COVID-19 pandemic.
They will share their personal experiences as moms facing many universal challenges in balancing demands at home and at work but will also address the stressors that are unique to the time we find ourselves in.
WHAT WILL BE DISCUSSED:
- How does one process a myriad of emotions and manage the uncertainty that permeates our daily lives?
- How can we be there to support our children yet incorporate compassion for ourselves and implement strategies of self-care?
- How can we be attuned to the needs of our children yet heed the red flags that make us vulnerable to relapse and digression from a path devoted to recovery?
- How can we best nourish and replenish ourselves so that we can sustain ourselves and provide rejuvenation for our families and loved ones?
This online event will be a combination webinar presentation and discussion forum for parents in recovery and anyone interested in this topic. We welcome participation from all fellow parents in the recovery community.
