Our team

Our EDP team works in partnership with case managers who are responsible for the overall care of young people. In addition to introducing all newcomers to the service, the team offers brief periods of intensified support to supplement ongoing care.

The case manager is the ‘go-to’ person and is responsible for coordinating care and monitoring the family’s progress towards their goals. The case manager is the main clinician who works directly with the family to support the young person’s recovery.

Our team includes:

Dietitians – bring eating-disorder-specific nutritional knowledge and intervention, as well as education about recovering from malnutrition, eating behaviour and patterns.

Nurses – support the integration of physical health assessments and support managing malnutrition, as well as providing nursing care for other physical health concerns and education to families.

Psychiatrist – in addition to the expertise offered by our team of health professionals, the psychiatrist can offer specific medical and psychiatric opinion when needed.

Family Peer Workers – bring the lived experience of caring for a young person with eating difficulties, direct experience of participating in treatment, and hope through mutual experience.

Youth Peer Workers – bring lived experience of being in recovery from an eating disorder.

Mental Health Clinicians (including mental health nurses, occupational therapists and social workers) – bring understanding of the impact that eating difficulties have on families and individuals. They also bring expertise in making sense of the difficulties that young people and their families are experiencing.

Therapy Dogs – visit the clinic every fortnight to create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for young people who are anxious about their appointments. There are additional bookable sessions for young people who wish to spend more time with the dogs.
