Rebooting Failed FBT - Advanced Training in FBT with Kellie Lavender

About this event

Many clinicians do not get the desired results due to key principles of treatment not be attended to well. These principles will be emphasised with adequate practice with role plays and discussions of managing typical scenarios where clinicians can have difficulty such as:

- How to set up treatment well so families start well and with momentum.
- When there has not been adequate weight gain progress by session 4 (including new research about the use of ICP, or Intensive Parent Coaching session)
- Addressing/helping parents understand and manage the distress of the adolescent
- Scenarios of the meal session
- Transitioning to phase two – “what to do and what not to do”
- What to do when families are struggling and “how to” help them on track again without falling into common errors e.g. becoming directive

There will also be time for supervision/discussion of current cases and issues that participants bring to the group.

Prerequisites for this workshop include:

• Attendance of an ‘Introduction to Family Based Treatment’ training
• Experience in delivering FBT
• Willingness to bring cases to review and role play.
