As part of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, join us for a 90-minute training delivered by NEDIC (National Eating Disorder Information Centre). This session is designed to help participants understand how eating disorders can develop in post-secondary environments, recognize early signs, respond compassionately, and connect someone to the appropriate supports.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand risk factors within post-secondary settings

  • Recognize early signs of disordered eating

  • Respond in a supportive and non-judgmental way

  • Know when and how to refer, using evidence-informed resources

This session is relevant for anyone at Lakehead (students, staff, and employees) who wants to become more informed about eating disorders and how to support someone affected.
