💬 "I took time to see the person, listen to how the world made sense to them and where possible, change what we could do to support them."

Being trauma-informed allows for service users to feel understood when in recovery, and provides a safe space where traumas are unlikely to resurface.

Inclusion Thurrock's Psychological Therapy Services recently celebrated being highly commended in the eating disorder category at the Positive Practice in Mental Health Awards 🏆 ⭐

The disordered eating pathway provides vital support to service users who may not meet the typical service needs for a more intensive eating disorder service.

💬 Dr Richard Pione, Principal Clinical Psychologist, expressed his pride in the achievement: "It's crucial to view eating disorder services as a spectrum of complexity, and it's equally important to offer provision at the mild-to-moderate presenting end of that spectrum, which this pathway has successfully achieved."
