The 2013 ‘At Home with Eating Disorders’ conference was Australia’s first gathering of carers for people with eating disorders. It was held in Brisbane from 23rd to 25th of May and brought together national and international experts to recast the role of families and carers as a critical part of eating disorders treatment.
Increasing evidence reveals that parents, partners and other family members can provide a pivotal role in caring for children and adult sufferers. The Brisbane
conference sought to end the stigma, and help carers to build the necessary skills, knowledge and resilience to provide meaningful support in their loved one’s treatment.
Conference speakers included
Professor Janet Treasure - Eating disorders treatment specialist from the South London and Maudsley Hospital and Kings College London.
Professor Daniel Le Grange - Director of the Eating Disorders Program and Professor of Psychiatry from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neuroscience at the University of Chicago.
Professor Cynthia Bulik - Professor of Eating Disorders at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine, Professor of Nutrition at the Gillings School of Global Public Health, and director of the UNC Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders.
Professor Stephen Touyz - Professor of Clinical Psychology and Honorary Professor in the Discipline of Psychiatry at the University of Sydney.
Dr Warren Ward – Director of the Eating Disorders Service at the Royal Brisbane Women's and Children’s Hospital, and Secretary of the Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED).
