Background
Julian Samiloff and Lisa Poole began working together in the Southern Health, Blake Day Service; an 8-week programme for under 18s with Anorexia Nervosa. It invites young people and their families to come together and work in a group-based programme, [informed by the Maudsley model]. The programme began in November 2024 and has since run 10 successful cohorts.
Programme Aims
To support:
- Families sharing experiences and finding support with each other.
- The professionals to get closer to the ‘Stories Lived’ of those families.
- The Co-creation of practical strategies to challenge anorexia.
- Families open to have contact with members of the clinical team, of therapists, nursing and health care staff.
Workshop Aims
- To stimulate thinking, be useful, invite wider conversations around developing treatments (for Anorexia and/or other presenting issues, including developmental and mental health challenges)
- To invite colleagues to share in our stories of building and delivering the service and to contribute to developing our thinking
- To tell the stories of how new ideas arrived and shaped family therapy and dietetic practice
- To show family therapy and dietetics [et al] cross fertilising practices
- That participants will enrich both curiosity and systemic irreverence.
Our hope is that this workshop sparks meaningful conversations about anorexia nervosa treatment and clinical practice.
Certificates will be provided for five and a half hours of CPD.
