Kathrina Cann, MA, LMHC-S, IEDAS
“This has been a fantastic course, and I am extremely grateful to the contributors and creators that put all of this together. Thank you for noticing the gap in our ED community. This course goes so beyond basic eating disorder competency; and the extent to which that sets it apart cannot be overstated We know that Eds are multifactorial and complex, and the treatment needs to reflect that. I was close to finishing an alternative credentialing program, but the IEDS blows other aspects of many other eating disorder education programs out of the water. I plan to continue to refer to the modules and manuals as the content is so layered and timely”
Lindsey Wert, LMFT, CEIP-MH, IEDAS
"It has been an amazing experience completing these courses. As a specialist in the filed the last 17 plus years I can state "yes I support this training!" I am happy to see an inclusive training the honors diversity, inclusion, and comprehensive training in harm reduction and trauma informed care. I have not supported most organizations who have had foundations rooted in white supremacy culture. Thank you for this Jennifer Pereira and Veronica Rocha."
Aliyah White,
MA, LPC, IEDS
"if you are interested in deepening your knowledge and gaining a comprehensive understanding of eating disorders and disordered eating from both therapeutic and nutritional perspectives, I encourage you to explore IEDS. As a therapist certified by IEDS, I found that it significantly improved my understanding and approach to working with clients. The intersectionality and bias course was incredibly informative and refreshing in its honesty and depth. This type of training should be mandatory for every provider, even if they don't plan to specialize in EDs, because we are all seeing people with eating disorders all the time"
Najeeha Khan, LPC, IEDS
"I have been working with people with eating disorders for several years. This course filled in the gaps in my knowledge and was broad in scope. One of the things that matters to me most is the cultural awareness and weight inclusivity themes throughout the courses. My counseling education fell far too short on providing eating disorder education. This program is instrumental in feeling competent and confident in working with people with eating disorders. Trauma is common in these clients and I appreciated the focus on this in multiple courses."
