About the Workshop:
CBT-E offers a promising new evidence based treatment framework for adolescents recovering from eating disorders. Similar to the adult version of CBT-E, the adolescent version is a personalized intervention that targets key maintaining features of eating disorders and provides an additional framework for working with an adolescent client, including involving family members as support. It is an individual treatment designed to enhance an adolescent’s agency and autonomy, build engagement and can be applied transdiagnostically. This one day workshop will support you to apply this model of treatment.
