Eating Disorder and Trauma Online Course
Teacher: Caelan Kuban, LMSW
As the connection has become more established it becomes imperative that trauma assessment is part of the initial evaluation process. If a trauma history exists then trauma specific intervention must also be a part of the healing process, as we now know that unresolved trauma and its emotional, biological, and neurological impact can be driving eating disorder behaviors. If we can help children and adolescents find relief from their earlier trauma and the intense anxiety we see with unresolved trauma, it may be much easier for them to alter their eating behavior. This course provides a brief overview of eating disorders, research that supports the link between eating disorders and trauma and provides several examples of activities to incorporate into trauma intervention programs when working with a child or adolescent who is also struggling with disordered eating.
Cost of taking this course online is $100 which includes CEUs. Upon successful completion of assignments, tests and evaluation you can download a CE Certificate of Completion. This course provides 6 continuing education contact hours. If you need SB CEUs please notify us upon registration as there is specific paperwork that is needed for this credit. If you have questions about SB CEUs email ckuban@tlcinst.org.
