Virtual Training: Eating Disorders and Their Treatment – 2 CEUs
Eating disorders are serious but treatable mental and physical conditions that relate to persistent eating behaviors that negatively impact health, emotions and the ability to function in important areas of life. They affect people of all genders, ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, body shapes, and weights. National surveys estimate that 20 million women and 10 million men in America will have an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Eating disorders can be fatal but with treatment, people can make a full recovery.
To educate our community about eating disorders and their treatment options, KVC is hosting a virtual training designed specifically for our partners in the child welfare and behavioral healthcare industries. Participants will receive 2 CEUs*.
In this training, Erin Keltner, MSW, LICSW, KVC West Virginia’s Vice President of Clinical Services, will help participants:
- Learn about types of eating disorders
- Understand symptoms and how they present
- Review effects of co-morbidity with other mental health conditions
- Dispel myths about eating disorders and treatment
- Discover treatment options and modalities
*CEUs are valid for individuals in West Virginia who have a social work license or are licensed professional counselors (LPC).

We have two training times available on Wednesday, January 11:
- 10AM – 12PM
- 3-5PM
Registration is closed.
