This lecture seeks to educate mental health & medical professionals on the use of a weight neutral approach with trans and gender non-conforming clients. Based on the research, we see the need for a weight neutral approach in clinical work as a way to mitigate risk factors including eating disorder development, the development of low self-esteem, and continued distorted thinking about the body.

1. Attendees will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the Weight Neutral Approach as applied to gender diverse clients.

2. Attendees will be able to assess the key factors of disordered eating in gender diverse clients.

3. Attendees will demonstrate an understanding of at least one experiential therapy practice within clinical work with trans and gender non-conforming clients.

Instruction level is intermediate. This event is intended for clinicians with a foundational understanding of eating disordered treatment. One CE credit.
