TRAINING & EVENTS

Training and Workshops


We offer a range of formal and informal training and workshops on eating disorders and body image. Most of this is either awareness-raising in content or directed at psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists and other mental health clinicians. Our upcoming training, workshops and events are listed below. While Talking EDs offer most of the training, we do sometimes also have guest trainers offer training and events too.

If you need bespoke training, please do get in touch with your requirements and we can assess our ability to provide this. We will also give you a quote based on number of delegates, length of training, location (it must be online or near public transport) and writing and preparation time. If you require bespoke training, we will need at least 6 months notice of this.
