Invisible Women: Eating Disorders and Midlife
This webinar will address women at midlife and beyond who are struggling with disordered eating and negative body image – the factors that contribute to their increasing numbers as well as the unique presentation and treatment needs that must not be overlooked. Women at midlife often find that, in our youth-obsessed culture, ageing brings with it a "cloak of invisibility". It is all too common that they approach life transitions with dread and their self-esteem is undermined by cultural stereotypes about growing older. Interventions that honor the natural ageing process and promote connection and hope will be presented.
