Severe and enduring eating disorders Presented by Elizabeth Stathakis, APD
"Help, what do I do?"
Working with a person who is living with a severe and enduring eating disorder is a distinct, and under-researched, area of practice. The skills needed extend far beyond focussing on food and weight; it calls on the clinician to have compassion, creativity and to be collaborative. This is a challenging area of practice, and one that requires ongoing training and supervision.
Learn about:
- how Severe and Enduring EDs need a different approach
- access to care challenges
- the importance of an informed ‘forced choice’ and non-negotiables plan with no surprises
This presentation also covers:
- What is a severe and enduring eating disorder?
- Client journey – how’d they get here, where are they going?
- Who needs to be on the treatment team and what’s the plan?
- What can I do when there is no change in my client’s progress?
- I keep putting my foot in it - what to say and what not to say to clients.
