Professional Consultation and Trainings
Education for Providers, Schools, and Organizations
Dr. Christy Duffy is a licensed psychologist specializing exclusively in the treatment of eating disorders. Drawing on years of clinical experience, she provides engaging, evidence-based trainings designed to help professionals, parents, families, and community groups better understand, identify, and respond to eating disorders.
Whether you are a healthcare provider, educator, parent, coach, or community leader, these trainings equip you with the tools to recognize early signs, challenge harmful myths, and support individuals toward recovery.
Why Training Matters
Eating disorders are complex, often misunderstood illnesses that affect people of all ages, body sizes, and backgrounds. Misconceptions, even among well-intentioned caregivers and professionals, can delay diagnosis and treatment, or inadvertently reinforce harmful messages. Education empowers providers, families, and communities to respond with confidence, compassion, and clarity.
Training Topics Include:
Identifying Eating Disorders Early: Recognizing signs beyond weight changes and common stereotypes.
Challenging Diet Culture and Weight Stigma: Understanding how these factors impact risk, treatment, and recovery.
Medical and Nutritional Considerations: Learning about the health consequences and the role of multidisciplinary care.
Guidance for Families and Caregivers: Practical tools to encourage treatment, reduce conflict, and offer meaningful support.
Creating Recovery-Supportive Environments: Reducing harm and fostering resilience in schools, clinics, and athletic settings.
Specialized Trainings for Providers: Guidance on screening, referral pathways, and collaborative care models.
Custom topics can be developed based on your group’s needs.
