Eating disorders are worryingly prevalent conditions in children, adolescents, and young adults. And with a high mortality rate owing to medical complexity that leads to hypoglycemia, sudden cardiac death, and co-morbid conditions correlated with death by suicide, it’s critical that mental health clinicians have the knowledge they need to evaluate and care for these patients. 

In this lecture, Jennifer Derenne, MD, DFAACAP, FAED, Stanford, will discuss how to assess patients for eating disorder presentation; the importance of evidence-based psychopharmacological approaches, in both inpatient and outpatient settings; and psychotherapeutic interventions for youth with eating disorders.  

DATE & TIME: Wednesday, June 17 I 12 - 1pm EST

FORMAT: Virtual 

COST: FREE

Check Out this on-demand webinar Comprehensive Treatment for BFRBs: Everything You Need to Know About Treating Hair Pulling and Skin Picking

Hair pulling and skin picking disorders—known as Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs)—are common, yet many clinicians feel unsure how to treat them due to limited training and available resources. This course addresses that gap by providing an evidence-based overview of what BFRBs are (and are not), how to diagnose and conceptualize them using an individualized functional analysis, and how to develop effective, personalized treatment plans. Participants will learn practical strategies for treating BFRBs, including managing treatment resistance, co-occurring disorders, and shame. Taught by two recognized experts in the field, this comprehensive clinical training also includes time for case conceptualization and participant questions.

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are repetitive self-grooming behaviors, such as trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation disorder (skin-picking), that fall within the scope of OCD and related disorders. Although BFRBs are common, affecting as many as 1 in 20 individuals, accessing accurate information and evidence-based treatment resources can be challenging. This workshop will provide an overview of BFRBs, including the phenomenology, self-reinforcing nature of the disorders, current trends in evidence-based treatment, and resources for clinicians as well as for those living with these disorders.
