“Building the Village” – Developing Specialist Treatment Services for Eating Disorders: Examples from Residential and Other Models of Care [Workshop]
Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) Conference, 2023 (Gold Coast, Australia, 24-Aug-2023–26-Aug-2023)
2023
Abstract
Over the past 5 years the growth in service provision for eating disorders in Australia has included increased access to evidence-based outpatient treatments through eating disorder specific Medicare items, the opening and establishment of Australia’s first residential treatment program “Wandi Nerida”, and funding for additional residential treatment programs to be developed nation-wide.
This workshop will provide education and reflection on eating disorder service development from Australia and around the globe, including clinical service delivery and models of care, day-to-day treatment, common challenges, growing an eating disorder team, and enhancing diversity, inclusion, and lived experience. We will also cover the importance of program evaluation in establishing a new service. To facilitate this, outcomes data from Wandi Nerida’s first 6-months of operation will be presented alongside insights on establishing research processes in residential and other treatment programs.
This workshop has been developed for eating disorders clinicians with a background knowledge of eating disorder treatment, and for anyone who is or will be involved in eating disorder service development and design projects..
The examples and scenarios presented will come primarily from our experiences in residential programs, though they will also be relevant and applicable to most specialised eating disorder treatment services (e.g., day and outpatient programs).
Group activities, case scenarios, and role-plays will be utilised to enhance learnings and to highlight common examples of client work in these services.
