Title: How To Provide Safe Care When a Client Has an Eating Disorder

Audience: Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists

Date: September 9, 2025

Summary: An overview of how to recognize when someone is affected by an eating disorder in any setting, including some of the medical complications. I also explore how clinicians can adjust their practice to better serve this population, using eating disorder-informed language and giving appropriate recommendations.

I will share ways occupational therapists can adapt their current interventions so that they are supporting safe practice and recovery for their clients with suspected or diagnosed eating disorders.

Register through the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT).
