Description

Join us for the 2026 Jewish Eating Disorders Professionals (JEDPRO) Conference, a virtual gathering dedicated to advancing culturally responsive, clinically informed eating disorder care within Jewish communities.

JEDPRO brings together eating disorder professionals from across disciplines for a day of education, connection, and meaningful conversation. Through expert-led presentations, panels, and clinical discussions, attendees will explore the complex intersections of eating disorders, Jewish identity and culture, spirituality, mental health, and ethical clinical practice.

Designed for therapists, psychologists, dietitians, physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and other professionals working in or interested in the eating disorder field, the conference offers opportunities to deepen clinical knowledge while examining issues that may be overlooked in traditional eating disorder education.

Friday, October 16, 2026 | Virtual Conference

Whether you work primarily with Jewish clients or are seeking to strengthen your cultural responsiveness as an eating disorder professional, JEDPRO offers a space to learn, connect, and engage with colleagues committed to thoughtful, inclusive, and evidence-informed care.
