Many healthcare and mental health professionals find working with families one of the most challenging parts of supporting eating disorder recovery.
They frequently struggle with how to involve them, how to leverage off the families strengths (and love for their person) to support recovery, while protecting client confidentiality. Families are often very overwhelmed, (understandably), making the task even more challenging.
Join us for a one day workshop on Wednesday 18th June (10am – 5pm online) to learn how to collaborate effectively with families, no matter the age of their loved one.
Early Bird rate €120 until Friday 30th May next.

Over a number of sessions, Deirdre will help you to:
- Understand the eating disorder illness better
- Give you the tools and techniques you need to better support your child
- Understand that you HAVE a role to play in supporting your child’s recovery – no matter their age
- Feel more empowered
- Feel listened to, understood and supported

This 1:1 session with Zuzanna is intended to assist with assessment, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. The session will (a) involve a history and interview(s), combined with the use of a number of assessment tools which will help to both formulate diagnosis and offer recommendations for treatment, as well as a risk assessment and (b) help to answer some of the following questions:
- Is this disordered eating or an eating disorder?
- Which eating disorder is it?
- How severe is the presentation?

This assessment will enable the development of a strategic treatment plan, using proven evidence-based therapies, co-ordinated with other treatment providers as appropriate (for example, psychiatrist, GP, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and/or dietitian). Families are guided and supported by a team of professionals, working alongside them and their loved one.
