🧠🍽️ Supporting our Young People with Eating Difficulties / Disorders - The Psychology in Schools Team/Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT)
🗣️🧑🏻⚕️👩🏼⚕️👩🏽🏫👨🏻💼The Psychology in Schools Team/NSFT prioritise bringing specialist mental health support into local communities through opening up dialogue between GPs, education, primary care/community services and specialist mental health/wellbeing services. They are committed to transformation to develop an integrated provision for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing, and provide fantastic resources for professionals, parents and carers.
A brilliant CPD workshop this evening, lead by Dr Beth Mosley (Lead Clinical Psychologist) and designed to discuss how parents and carers can support a young person that is experiencing eating and exercise difficulties whilst highlighting the importance of their support alongside timely professional intervention.
🧠🍽️The workshop discussed the development of disordered eating patterns and eating disorders in young people and ended with a brilliant discussion around the complexities, yet importance, of supporting a loved one from a family/career perspective. The workshop explored evidence-based communication techniques and practical strategies that can be utilised by parents/carers to provide appropriate support at home, aligned with the level of intervention necessary, to help their loved one navigate healthier behaviours.
