This approved program will teach you all the essentials of assessing for and supporting adults who struggle with emotional eating or binge eating.

Emotional eating and binge eating are hidden in plain sight in every area of health care. Yet many clients do not disclose their relationship with food voluntarily - it is a source of deep shame for them.

IN THERAPY clients often use food to cope or numb out during difficult experiences, or they learned to eat to self-soothe during a traumatic event or time in their younger lives.
Research shows that up to 80% of bariatric surgery patients had at least one adverse psychological event in their past.
There is a significant correlation between trauma and emotional eating, anxiety and emotional eating and depression and emotional eating.

In HEALTH COACHING and NUTRITION clients seeking support for weight loss, gut issues, inflammation, PCOS, endometriosis and many other conditions will often have struggles with food.

In TYPE 2 DIABETES up to 40% of patients meet the criteria for Binge Eating Disorder, yet fewer than 27% of health professionals report screening for BED.

This training blends a 1 day immersive training with up to 6 weeks of self-paced learning with ongoing, online community support throughout.

You will learn all of the essentials you need to know to effectively assess for, support and where appropriate refer on anyone who attends your service or practice.

Working safely and ethically within your scope of practice, you CAN provide effective support to help clients and patients:

- reduce their episodes of emotional or binge eating

- reset their relationship with food

- reduce or resolve health issues caused by the rollercoaster of restriction and bingeing

- restore their confidence and belief that they can achieve better physical, emotional and mental health.
