GLP-1 agonists & Eating Disorders: What to Say When Clients Ask

 

As the use of GLP-1 agonists medications (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy) rises, so do concerns about their prescription to individuals with active, historical, or at-risk of eating disorders. This webinar supports ED practitioners in navigating complex, relational conversations with clients exploring or already using these medications.

This is not a webinar on pharmacology or pathophysiology of GLP-1 agonists. Rather, it focuses on relational, ethical, and consent-based approaches to client care.

Are your clients asking about Ozempic, Wegovy, or other GLP-1 medications?

With the rise in popularity of GLP-1 agonists for weight loss, eating disorder practitioners are facing a growing challenge: how to ethically and effectively support clients navigating these medications; including recommendations to take these medications —especially those with active EDs, a history of EDs, or those at risk.

This 2-hour webinar is designed to equip you with the relational tools and clinical frameworks to hold these complex, sensitive conversations—without shame, without directive advice, and always with your client’s autonomy and safety at the center.
