An Introduction to Working with Body Image for Dietitians
An Introduction to Working with Body Image for Dietitians: Part 1

In a three-part webinar series, the Eating Disorders Interest Group (EDIG) introduces body image work for dietitians. In the first instalment in this series, we will lay foundations of working with body image as a dietitian. This will include setting up your assessment process, discussing clinical boundaries, and where to further your knowledge and skill development.

The second and third webinars in this series will expand on the practical application of body image work in practice.

This webinar is brought to you by the Dietitians Australia Eating Disorders Interest Group (2023).

Application into practice:

- Participants will build an understanding of how body image concerns intersect with the work we do as dietitians.

- Participants will establish a clearer understanding of a dietitian's scope when individuals present with body image concerns.

- Participants will understand how to set up for a thorough food and body image assessment.
