WEIGHING DOWN OUR KIDS:Confronting Size-ism and Weight Stigma in the Counseling Space
This training event will award 2 contact hours for LMSW and LCSW with the NYSED State Board for Social Work and 2 contact hours for LMHC and LMFT with the NYSED State Board for Mental Health Practitioners and 2 CASAC renewal credits(APPROVAL PENDING).
With so much attention on the rise of childhood obesity, school and clinical counselors are on the front lines to help children navigate these messages without harming their mental health. This session will consider the most common issues a counselor is likely to see around children and food. We will challenge commonsense advice and look at what the research says about the best ways counselors can support children to be healthy in body and mind.
