Multi-Family Therapy for Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa

About this event

Presented by Andrew Wallis and Jess Ryan

Delivered over 4 full days – in person

This training will provide mental health clinicians with an introduction to Multi-Family Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa (MFT-AN) through immersive experiential activities and didactic learning. The training is based upon MFT-AN as manualised in ‘Multi-Family Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa: A Treatment Manual’ (Simic et al., 2021).

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.

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

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