Learn what to look out for and what steps to take if you suspect your child or teen may have an eating disorder
For Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we hosted Dr. Egbert for an informative presentation on recognizing the signs of eating disorders and how to support a loved one who may be at risk. Watch this webinar to learn what to look for, how to have supportive and non-judgmental conversations, common reactions to expect, and key considerations when exploring treatment options.
Amy Egbert, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut. She studies eating challenges in children and teens, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. Her research looks at how factors like food marketing, access to healthy food, and experiences of discrimination can affect eating habits. Dr. Egbert is passionate about finding ways to adapt treatments so they better meet the needs of all families, including those who may not have access to specialized care.
