Emerging research suggests that individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ may be at higher risk of experiencing body image concerns and disordered eating alongside barriers to appropriate treatment. This session focuses on understanding the challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals face so that we can create safer spaces that invite them to heal. We will review specific interventions that can help connect LGBTQ+ individuals to recovery in ways that are relevant to their journey.
