In an increasingly digital world, therapists are discovering innovative ways to create accessible and engaging services for children, young people and families. Digital tools—including digital sandtrays and videogames—offer new opportunities to connect with clients in meaningful ways, supporting therapeutic work in both face-to-face and online settings. This interactive course explores how these tools can be integrated into practice to enhance engagement and therapeutic outcomes. 

This training is designed for systemic practitioners and family therapists. It will also be useful for anyone that works therapeutically with children and families. This course will take place on Thursday 5th November between 09:30am to 17:30pm.

This intensive 4-day training provides an overview of the Family Therapy for Eating Disorders model (FT-AN), often referred to as the Maudsley Approach. This treatment model places strong emphasis on family working and involvement, and supports the family to take a more active role in finding ways to overcome their child’s difficulties. The course also provides an understanding of other disordered eating diagnoses including Bulimia Nervosa.

This course is suitable for clinical staff working within a multi-disciplinary CYP team working directly with young people with diagnosed eating disorders and disordered eating, including Nurses, Psychologists, Family Therapist, Psychiatrists, Dieticians and Paediatricians for example.

Traing will be held on Tuesday 27th October & Thursday 29th October and Tuesday 5th November & Thursday 7th November. Training will take place between 09:30 - 16:30pm and will be held via Zoom. 

This is a one-year, CPD course that will be seeking foundation accredited upon completion with the Association for Family and Systemic Psychotherapy (AFSP).  

The cost will be £2,800 per person. This includes the 18 days of training (a mixture of online and face to face) plus the three-day retreat. Face to face training will take place in Washington Singer Building, University of Exeter, Exeter EX4 4QG.
