Families and carers need skills to feel more confident being a key member of their loved one's clinical team. Whether your loved one is an adult or young person, we have sessions to support you. For those with a young person, we have "Trouble shooting difficult situations for adolescents with anorexia" with Maria Ganci and Martin Pradel from the Royal Children's hospital. For those of you with an adult sufferer, we have "Skills and strategies for parents and partners of adults with an eating disorder, especially when the eating disorder is entrenched" conducted by Elaine Painter and Carmel Fleming from the Eating Disorders Outreach Service in Queensland.

On the Saturday morning, we have a really exciting session exploring a brain based understanding to eating disorders led by Professor Tracey Wade and Dr Linsey Atkins. This session will discuss current understanding of neurobiology that contribute to the development and maintenance of eating disorders. These understandings inform interventions that can modify at risk-temperament, genes and environments. It will also discuss how to use insights from neurobiological research with young people, and how to use this information to motivate them to recovery. This information will help carers understand helpful ways of responding to their loved one. This is a session not to be missed!
