About this event

Presented by Andrew Wallis, Clinical Specialist Social Worker, Deputy Head; Department of Adolescent Medicine at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN), and Jess Ryan, CEED Senior Psychologist / Family Therapist, Child and Youth Team Leader.

Delivered over four full days in person, 9am – 4:30pm, Monday 6 March to Thursday 9 March 2023

CEED, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Royal Park Campus, HEC Room, 34-54 Poplar Road , Parkville Vic 3052

CEED is excited to be working with Andrew Wallis again to offer an intensive training workshop in Multi-Family Therapy for AN (MFT-AN). The training is available to clinicians from Victorian Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services, as nominated by their Manager/Director, as the next stage in establishing a skilled, sustainable workforce to provide MFT-AN across Victoria.

The training workshop utilises material from the Maudsley MFT training with attention to the Australian context.

Participants will:

• Learn the key MFT-AN treatment concepts
• Experience the activities used in the 4-day workshop
• Understand the facilitation skills needed for successful implementation

The workshop will run as an experiential group so participants will see the facilitation skills demonstrated and have an opportunity to practice.

Participants who attended previous MFT training reported that the workshop was very helpful for their work as FBT clinicians.

Target Audience: Victorian CAMHS clinicians working with adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Registrations from Victorian public mental health service clinicians will be prioritised.

Training prerequisite: Prior completion of training and clinical practice of Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is required.
