2018 iaedp™ Symposium Showcases Latest in Eating Disorder Treatments from Around the World
PEKIN, Ill. (PRWEB) February 06, 2018 -- The 32nd annual iaedp™ (International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals) Symposium is just weeks away, and this year’s event continues the Symposium’s reputation for presenting the latest in new treatments and research concerning eating disorders. The action-packed conference takes place March 22 – 25, 2018 at the Omni at ChampionsGate in Orlando, Florida and features keynote speakers, presentations and workshops, pre-certification courses and special networking events.
In addition to the many workshops and educational courses, the winners of iaedp’s™ “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” Body Image Mannequin Art Competition also will be revealed with the 15 entries spotlighted during the Symposium in a special poster gallery area. This unique annual art competition is an awareness-through-art campaign.
“There is no other opportunity in the field of eating disorders that presents the leading authorities from around the world in research and treatment of eating disorders to generate greater understanding among professionals,” said Bonnie Harken, Managing Director at the iaedp™ Foundation.
“At the iaedp™ Symposium, professionals in the field are able to experience the diversity of information and research in one place,” added Harken. The 2018 Symposium offers five days of training sessions and instructive presentations. Highlights of the more than 70-offered sessions include: family involvement in eating disorders, the use of brain imagery, Spanish-only presentations, significance of therapeutic support, gender and body image, managed exercise and eating disorders and insights into a range of eating disorder treatments, among many other topics.
Due to its extreme popularity, iaedp™ will once again offer its pre-certification courses onsite at the 2018 Symposium. With these courses, professionals who are new to the field or who do not specialize in eating disorders can receive a first-hand, comprehensive introduction to eating disorder treatment. Registration information can be found at http://www.iaedp.com. Also available at registration is the iaedp™ Symposium mobile app that assists attendees to plan and participate in Symposium activities.
