Workshop Outline: Research evidence, practice guidelines and policy all highlight that families and carers are crucial members of the treatment team when caring for someone with an eating disorder. Two parents who have experienced the trials and tribulations of caring for a person with an eating disorder will co-present this interactive seminar. Laura and Belinda both have daughters who have recovered from Anorexia Nervosa, and have both used their experience as a platform to increase awareness, advocate, promote evidence based practice and develop pioneering support organisations for families nationally and internationally (Maudsley Parents and Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders or F.E.A.S.T.). During the seminar, Laura and Belinda will share their experiences, and clinicians will have the opportunity to discuss the insights and unique challenges of implementing and supporting treatment and recovery in the home, enabling them to more effectively collaborate with families and carers in their practice with adolescents and adults. The themes for discussion will include: • Advantages to your practice in enlisting families as treatment allies • The impact of receiving an eating disorder diagnosis for a loved one and how families may respond • What families need to hear to enable them to find their ‘mojo’ to do what it takes • Unintended outcomes of comments and messaging that can undermine or alienate parents/carers • The importance of preventing the eating disorder split or triangulate between clinicians and parents Date and Time: Thursday 28 May 2015, 9.00am – 11.00am (breakfast 8.30am) Target Audience: Health professionals working with consumers experiencing eating disorders Venue: Poplar Learning Centre, Building D, Room 1 Orygen Youth Mental Health (OYH), NWMH Parkville Campus 35 Poplar Road, PARKVILLE, Victoria Cost: FREE to ANZAED members, $15 non- members http://www.anzaed.org.au/membership.html Registrations: Go to: http://www.trybooking.com/BXKG (For ANZAED members, your membership number is required at registration.
