the Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist trainings are proudly
Antiracist
Because EDs are entrenched in white supremacy culture, this training prioritizes antiracist education.
Inclusive
Traditional ED treatment often leaves behind many folks with Eating Disorders. The IEDS credential signifies your attentive care for those with marginalized identities.
HAES® Aligned
The Health at Every Size® philosophy is integral to ED recovery, and is woven into this entire training. Includes ASDAH’s HAES® updates from 3/27/24.
Comprehensive
10 modules packed with essential education to more effectively treat the full spectrum of EDs.
Evidence-Based
We provide evidenced-based education & several treatment modalities. We also include anecdotal evidence, and insights from our collective & seasoned professional experience.
Trauma Informed
This training aims to help you gain competency in every area of ED treatment from an inclusive, trauma-informed perspective.
Our Mission
to make evidence-based eating disorder training more equitable and accessible, and aligned with antiracist, HAES®, and social justice paradigms.
Our Goal
to educate & empower competent ED clinicians, who will help more people.
Our Why
As far as we know, an inclusive, HAES® aligned, antiracist, and comprehensive ED training does not exist. We developed this training to offer an alternative to the available “standard” trainings that leave so many people with eating disorders behind.
We are acutely aware that traditional educational programs for therapists and dietitians do not adequately teach students about eating disorders or how to effectively treat them. It also has to be said that traditional higher educational programs often and accidentally perpetuate harmful myths about eating disorders, exercise, body image and body size, and recovery. The treatment of eating disorders requires significant continuing education that is traditionally difficult to access. We strive to change that.
People fighting to recover deserve better care that takes into account and honors all of their identities, especially marginalized and oppressed identities. And that starts with better, more accessible education for the clinicians that do this important work.

What folks are saying
“I completed this phenomenal training yesterday. It was amazing, impactful, and treatment changing. Highly recommend!” —Katie S., LCSW
“For a newer therapist, I believe this training can be a game changer for someone who wants to work with this population. We receive no real education in our grad programs regarding helping people with eating disorders. This training is an alternative to limited trainings out there and is SO MUCH BETTER than just learning on the job, like most clinicians have had to do for way too long.” —Haley I., LMFT
“I did the certification training and found it to be really worthwhile. It was very comprehensive, and I learned new things even having been in the eating disorder field for awhile!” —Bridget B., LSW
“This training is incredible! It can be really hard to find eating disorder trainings that are inclusive and trauma informed. This training is all of the above! I absolutely recommend it to anyone who is working directly or indirectly with folks that have eating disorders or disordered eating.”
Susie H., LCSW
“This training is unmatched in its thoroughness and inclusivity of all parts of eating disorders. For those interested in and wanting to know more about how to treat eating disorders, this is the training for you! It touches on the history, the understanding, and all the moving parts that are included within an eating disorder. This training is useful for all types of professionals needing a better understanding of where eating disorders come from and what options are available for treatments.” —Kennon G., RD, LD
“This has been a fantastic course, and I am extremely grateful to the contributors and creators that put all of this together. Thank you for noticing the gap in our ED community. I plan to continue to refer to the modules and manuals as the content is so layered and timely”
—Kathrina C. LMHC
"I’ve been an ED therapist for a long time, and it honestly just helps me look at things in a different light—that I wish I would have been taught years ago."
—Apiffany G.
“I just finished the program and got my IEDS! I had an incredible experience and learned so much. I have two of my staff doing it right now and they are also loving it!” Erica B.
