The International Conference on Eating Disorders (ICED) 2021
promises to be a rich, diverse, and fascinating event. From keynote speaker; Anne E. Becker, talking about why eating disorders have been marginalized in global health to a plenary session on consequences of the COVID-19 global pandemic to pre-recorded workshops discussing such topics as trauma and eating disorders and the clash between lived experience and research in this area.
Attendees will be challenged to consider how clinicians, investigators, policymakers, and caregivers counter the all-too-frequent invisibility of eating disorders, to absorb important lessons from the broad spectrum of lived experience and communities, and to incorporate these lessons to create a more inclusive space to respond to eating disorders across diverse settings.
