About this On-Demand Webinar

You were trained to be the “expert” with the plan.
But in the room with real humans, it’s not that simple.

This webinar invites you into a candid, compassionate conversation with experienced dietitians working in eating disorders, mental health, and complex clinical settings. You’ll hear what they wish they’d known earlier in their careers—so you don’t have to learn it the hard way.

Whether you’re an emerging dietitian, student, or a few years into practice and feeling stretched, this session will help you feel less alone, more resourced, and more grounded in this work.

This webinar is for educational purposes and does not constitute supervision.

What you will learn

1
Recognise the presence of mental health across dietetic practice by describing how mental health, trauma, and eating distress present in a wide range of settings.
2
Explain common pathways into eating disorder and mental health work by identifying different career journeys dietitians have taken into this space.
3
Identify signs of personal impact and early burnout by recognising red flags in themselves that signal the emotional toll of this work.
4
Describe key supports that make this work sustainable by outlining the role of supervision, mentoring, peer connection, and team-based care.
5
Apply a more collaborative, lived‑experience‑centred lens to practice by articulating the shift from “expert with a plan” to collaborator alongside clients.
6
Reflect on the profession’s relationship with disordered eating and diet culture by discussing the high incidence of disordered eating within dietetics and the need for weight‑inclusive, trauma‑informed practice.
