Eating Disorder Workshops for Parents and Carers

New Maudsley Carer Skills Workshops

Based on the New Maudsley approach, these courses have helped so many families to navigate their way through a seemingly impossible task and offer professional techniques for becoming a ‘Change Coach’.

Each course consists of a series of five two-hour workshops. These workshops will cover:

• Introductions, psychoeducation and empathy  
• Cycle of change and motivational language  
• Reflecting on caring responses.
• What to try when things feel stuck  
• Coaching your loved one to make their own changes  
• Relapse contingency planning.

Once you have registered to attend, you will receive: 

• Joining instructions 
• Pre-course information 
• A course enrolment form.  

The New Maudsley Approach is the result of years of carer intervention development and encompasses many evidence based skills and techniques.  In order to equip you with the best possible support, we would urge carers to attend all five workshops.  We know that, in some cases, this might not be possible and that missing one or two may be inevitable due to unplanned occurrences.  However, carers should be aware that this course is not designed to be attended solely on a one-workshop basis since it is important to us that you gain the very best out of these workshops.  If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to email us at CWT.

Please note: When booking your place on this course you are signing up to attend all five of the workshops.
