About this live event

Learning Objectives

• Describe current updates in GLP-1 receptor agonists, including changes in availability, prescribing practices, and prevalence of use for intentional weight loss, and explain how these shifts impact patients receiving eating disorder treatment across levels of care.
• Identify and analyze the socio-cultural, systemic, and weight-stigmatizing pressures influencing patient interest in or use of GLP-1 medications, and evaluate how these forces may exacerbate eating disorder vulnerability, symptom maintenance, or recovery ambivalence.
• Assess the potential physiological, psychological, and behavioral risks associated with GLP-1 use in individuals with eating disorders, including implications for nutritional adequacy, medical stability, and treatment engagement within higher levels of care.
• Apply weight-inclusive, eating-disorder-informed clinical frameworks to collaboratively navigate GLP-1-related decision-making, interdisciplinary communication, and ethical boundary-setting while supporting recovery-oriented care.
