Eating disorders are more likely to thrive and persist when there is a lack of engagement of families and carers in the clinical care of the sufferer.
EDFA will facilitate and advocate for clinicians to:
- Better appreciate the value of allying with families and carers
- Access standards for families’ and carers’ involvement in treatment
- Develop organisational/clinical capacity for inclusion of families and carers in an active role.
Information for Clinicians
As a clinician or a service provider, you will find many advantages to working closely with families and carers in treatment…including better outcomes for patients.
