$99.00

About this On-Demand Webinar

As the use of GLP-1 agonist medications (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy) rises, so do concerns about their prescription to individuals with active, historical, or at-risk eating disorders.

This 2-hour webinar is designed to equip you with the relational tools and clinical frameworks to hold these complex, sensitive conversations with clients exploring or already using these medicationsโ€”without shame, without directive advice, and always with your clientโ€™s autonomy and safety at the centre.

This is not a short course on pharmacology or pathophysiology of GLP-1 agonists. Rather, it focuses on relational, ethical, and consent-based approaches to client care.

What you will learn

1
Why GLP-1 agonists present unique risks for people with eating disorders
2
How to talk about GLP-1 agonists
3
How to center consent and autonomy while educating compassionately
4
When (and how) these medications may be appropriate and how to support the nuance of this (How to we support clients with co morbid diabetes or PCOS who may benefit from GLP1 use a lower doses?)
5
How to respond to recommendations from other health professionals; including when you don't agree with them

What people are saying

The GLP-1 agonist webinar was excellent. It provided another practical and safe way to approach these conversations with clients who are considering them or have already started. Iโ€™ve used the Diet/ED cycle and the Spectrum of Eating worksheet with several clients over the last few weeks, and itโ€™s landed so well. Itโ€™s been a safe and gentle way to introduce disordered eating and eating disorders and has helped the conversation to unfold naturally and allowed for the next steps to be much more relaxed.
