March Webinars: Evidence-Based Practice for Binge Eating Disorder; Guidelines to Developing Competence with Mindfulness-Based Interventions

March 7, 2019 Hunger for Healing: Evidence-Based Practice for Binge Eating Disorder Wednesday, March 13, 2019 @ 3-4:30pm ET (2CT/1MT/12PT) Description: Most counselors are familiar with – or at least heard of – eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia nervosa. But we are less familiar with binge eating disorder (BED) despite being four times more common in clinical practice. The American Psychiatric Association only recognized BED as a distinct disorder in 2013 and was first included in the DSM-5 (F50.8). This webinar will explore the prevalence, neurobiology, and evidence-based treatments for this common, and extremely challenging disorder. We will pay particular attention to the influence of developmental trauma from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study on the etiology of BED, and the utility of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of the treatment regimen.

Guidelines to Developing Competence with Mindfulness-Based Interventions Wednesday, March 27, 2019 @ 3-4:00pm ET (2CT/1MT/12PT) Description: With the expanding use of mindfulness-based interventions in behavioral healthcare generally, and addiction counseling specifically, there have been emerging concerns over ensuring educational, training, and competency standards with these interventions. This webinar will provide an overview of six emerging guidelines for promoting competence with mindfulness-based interventions. It will also highlight adherence scales that can enhance training and supervision, as well as resources for further development.
