Eating Disorders Training for Professionals
Wednesday 20th October 2021 - 10am-4pm
In this workshop Sarah Stevens will be exploring ways to help you understand, engage and work with clients who present with an eating disorder. Therapy for eating disorders needs specialist knowledge and this workshop is an introduction to this complex area. It is suitable for counsellors and therapists who want to learn more and it may also be helpful for anyone working in a role which involves interacting with those who may suffer from eating disorders or their carers such as non-specialist nurses, support workers, teachers or other non-specialist healthcare professionals

- To consider the signs and symptoms of potential eating disorders

- To understand the support available for sufferers and their families/carers
- To help you feel more confident in your professional role to support someone with an eating disorder and their parents/carers
