When Anxiety, OCD &
Eating Disorders Collide
A free online event for clinicians, providers, and allied health professionals
We're glad you're here.
Eating disorders, OCD, and anxiety rarely exist in isolation — and neither should treatment. Today's conference equips providers with clarity, clinical insight, and practical strategies to better support recovery at the intersection of these conditions.
Today you'll hear from four clinicians who work at this intersection every day. Please fill out your CEU form, update your Zoom name, and stay for all four sessions.
