Parent Webinar-Is Your High School Student with an Eating Disorder Ready for College?

Dr. Muhlheim gives this webinar once every year in February. Email Hello@EDTLA.com with the subject line “Purchase college readiness” to purchase the recording from 2026 webinar.

Are you a parent of a High School Junior or Senior with an eating disorder? Learn how to ensure your student is ready for the transition to college. Attend our Parent College Readiness Webinar.

Soon college acceptances will be arriving and deposits will be due shortly. College can be very challenging for young adults with eating disorders who are not in stable recovery. Learn how to evaluate whether your child is ready and how best to help prepare them. We strongly encourage 6 months of solid recovery before sending a young adult to college.

Join Dr. Lauren Muhlheim, author of When Your Teen Has an Eating Disorder and co-author of Lauren and Katie’s College Readiness Checklist for a 2-hour webinar.

  • “I thought it was fantastic. The presenter was informed, empathic, and relatable.”
  • “The webinar and all the handouts/contracts were all very helpful in preparing for our daughter to go to college. I especially appreciated your insight about what is happening on college campuses that can affect eating disorders and the suggestions for additional resources/workbooks. Thanks so much for doing this!”
  • “Highlighting some of the pitfalls on the college campus, there were a few that hadn’t crossed my mind yet. Also appreciated the checklist, so I can start working on them with my HS junior now. “
  • “Great seminar! It provided a clear and very concrete guide about what to work for in these months. It also helped me to convince my spouse of the importance of keeping working in all the aspects mentioned in the list seriously and consistently.”
