Specialist Supportive Clinical Management for Adult Eating Disorders (SSCM)

About this event

Delivered over one full day – in person – Royal Park Campus
Tuesday 5 September 2023
9.00am – 5.00pm

Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) is an effective outpatient eating disorders treatment for anorexia nervosa, tested against evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). Unlike CBT and IPT, SSCM allows for greater flexibility in sessions to address broader life issues and client goals as well as eating disorder behaviours. Ongoing research has confirmed SSCM as an effective, viable treatment option for eating disorders.

The workshop aims to equip participants with the following:

- A working understanding of the SSCM model, key components and applications that supports immediate implementation of the intervention

- Skills and practice in delivering key SSCM interventions and processes, including: Treatment set up; Assessment, intervention and concluding phases; Following a session structure and using clinical tools

- A framework for understanding and working with multidisciplinary roles in SSCM
