Eating Disorders training for Headspace
Set your teams up for success in working with eating disorders with our customised 2 day training!
We have a 2 day training designed specifically for Headspace clinicians focusing on what matters for your teams including prevention and identification of subclinical disordered eating and body image concerns and clinical eating disorders, eating disorders specific assessment, working within care teams and early intervention, engaging in shorter term therapy within the Headspace model drawing on CBTe and how to work with families to support recovery.
The training is interactive, involves learning through multiple modalities and participants receive relevant resources to help them start working with clients with disordered eating, body image concerns and eating disorders straight away. Please reach out to us info@eatingdisorderstrainingaustralia.com.au if you would like to express interest in this training.
"I really appreciated the efforts of Sarah and Amanda in making this training very specific to Headspace staff. It was apparent that they had taken into consideration our unique circumstances and the service structures/limitations and had changed things or emphasised other things accordingly. I have been to trainings in the past which did not do this, and ended up providing a lot of information that wasn't really relevant to our way of working." - Headspace clinician, participant.
