Join us to learn practical tips and skills for caregivers.

Dads have often been left out of the eating disorder recovery narrative, and Equip’s Director of Mentorship Kevin Dunn hopes to change that by motivating and educating men on becoming more supportive and effective as caregivers. In honor of Fathers Day, join Kevin for a special workshop to learn practical tips and tools for dads (and all caregivers) navigating recovery with their loved one.

Kevin Dunn is a dad who has been the primary caregiver for his daughter since her anorexia nervosa diagnosis five years ago—and her subsequent ARFID dual diagnosis. He maintains the view that eating disorder challenges present extraordinary opportunities for growth and learning. Certainly, they are unwelcome visitors on our family journeys, but, for Kevin, the “disorder” they bring opens broad pathways to “re-ordering” every aspect of family life for the better. His goal is to use his experience guiding his own daughter to support others on their paths.

Kevin is the Director of Family Mentorship at Equip and leader of their Men’s Group, and also co-founded the F.E.A.S.T. Men’s Group, with the goal of activating, educating, and motivating men to be more supportive and effective caregivers.

Exploring the Connection between Eating Disorders and Shame related to Fertility, Pregnancy, and Postpartum Recovery.

Join us virtually as author of The Clinical Guide to Fertility, Motherhood and Eating Disorders: From Shame to Self-Acceptance, Kate Daigle, MA, NCC, LPC presents a free workshop exploring the development of a healthy relationship between eating disorders, shame related to fertility, pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Did you know that 20.7% of patients struggling with infertility have had an eating disorder?

Psychotherapy with this population can reveal shame rooted in unexpected difficulties in conception, pregnancy or early motherhood. The lack of open discussion around these topics increases internalized judgment and self-criticism. This presentation will focus on issues arising from challenges conceiving, sustaining a healthy pregnancy, and mother-child bonding in women who have had or currently have an eating disorder. Discussion will examine research linking the presence of anorexia nervosa, bulimia or binge eating disorder to fertility issues and experiential exercises exploring how to process this with clients will be outlined. Kate will share some personal experiences from her own life and case studies to highlight the depth of these struggles. This presentation will be a guide to addressing, working with, and healing from emotional struggles related to fertility and eating disorders both for practitioners who work with these issues regularly and for those who are wanting to learn about this topic.

The Intersection of Discrimination and Shame in the Presentation of Eating Disorders in BIPOC Communities

Norman Kim, PhD.

Norman is the co-founder and principal of the Institute for Antiracism and Equity, a social justice focused consultancy, and the Deputy Director of Ayana Therapy, an app startup focused on providing culturally intelligent, adapted, and accessible care to marginalized communities. He completed his B.A. at Yale and his Ph.D. in Psychology at UCLA. His research and clinical interests include the social development of people with autism, the developmental course of bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders. In conjunction Norman has developed an expertise in psychiatrically complex populations, and his primary areas of interest are the application of a transdiagnostic framework for eating disorders, taking an evolutionary approach to shame and anxiety, and minority mental health. He is a regular national and international speaker, educator, and passionate advocate with a particular focus on minority status and barriers to mental health care in marginalized communities. He is the founding co-chair of the BIPOC Committee of IAEDP, on the inaugural Behavioral Health Taskforce for the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association, and serves on numerous advisory boards. Norman was the co-founder of Reasons Eating Disorder Center.

People from ethnic minority groups and those in LGBTQ+ communities suffer from eating disorders at similar or higher rates than in the general population. People from these communities must often also grapple with additional stigma and marginalization, resulting in a multiple dose of shame and reasons for experiencing self-hatred. Among other risk factors, a history of macro- and micro-aggressions, discrimination and marginalization, and the well-documented confluence of stressors associated with minority status puts people from these communities at particularly high risk for the development of disordered eating behaviors and their attendant consequences.

Despite the seriousness and lethal nature of eating disorders for all those affected, there remains a tremendous disparity in mental health services utilization among those from marginalized and minority groups. People from these groups are under-identified by professionals and tend to receive and utilize treatment for eating disorders at significantly lower rates. These disparities reflect a profound need for culturally competent assessment and treatment services for members of marginalized communities who are struggling with eating disorders.

Cultural competency among care providers is crucial in providing effective treatment in both medical and mental health settings, and has particular salience in the context of illnesses as complex and multifaceted as eating disorders. It is essential for therapists, dietitians, physicians, nurses, and other allied professionals to possess cultural knowledge and be able to apply such cultural understanding to assessment and delivery of interventions and therapies as a fundamental aspect of overall clinical competence.
