Course outline:
Eating disorders are wide-ranging and complicated, and remain high on the list of risk areas in mental health care and provision, especially for young people. Eating disorders are a complex mental illness with a high mortality rate, not only down to the eating disorder and malnutrition, but also suicide. For staff working with young people, having the confidence to offer support, and open up conversations about eating disorders can be nerve-wracking.

- Recognising early signs of disordered eating and eating disorders in students
- Identifying high risk students
- How to tackle disordered eating in schools?
- How to approach a student of concern?
- Language to use around food and exercise (Do’s and Don’ts)
Learning outcomes:

- Signs and symptoms of eating disorders
- Do’s and don’ts when it comes to supporting people with eating disorders
