We intend to offer a support group and skills-based workshop for carers in 2010. These workshops aim to equip carers with skills and knowledge needed to support and encourage those experiencing an eating disorder. Workshops will include such topics as communication skills, problem solving skills, building resilience and managing difficult behaviour and are based on the work of -

Treasure, J., Smith, G., & Crane, A. ( 2007). Skills-based Learning for Caring for a Loved One with an Eating Disorder. The New Maudsley Method. East Sussex, UK: Routledge.
