This 6 session live online series is designed to prepare you to work more confidently and ethically with clients presenting with a range of disordered eating presentations, elevating your knowledge, insights and skills. Focussing more on the “how” and “why” rather than just the “what,” you will be provided with key learnings and opportunities to develop your skills within a supportive and reflective learning environment. At the end of the workshop, you can expect to leave feeling clear about a range of ways to navigate the inevitable challenges and complexities of working in this field, coupled with an ongoing curiosity to learn more from your valued colleagues and clients!

Who is this workshop suitable for?

This series is primarily designed for Dietitians with more than two years of dietetic practice. If you are a Dietitian with less than two years of dietetic practice, you are very welcome to attend on the premise that you have completed all reading and allocated work prior to the workshop.

You may have been seeing clients with clinical eating disorders for some time, and you are more than welcome too! This workshop is designed as a comprehensive and practical dive into dietetic care and may act as a very suitable review or update of existing skills and understandings.

There are more commonalities than differences with Eating Disorder care worldwide, and we have designed this course to be suitable for, and thoughtful about the needs of, as many Dietitians as possible wherever you are in the world. Please do reach out if you have any questions, and see other course options below to get a good idea of whether this will be suitable for you.

You can expect to leave with a thorough understanding of:

• The role of the Dietitian in ED care, including scope of practice

• Inclusive, thoughtful Dietetic screening and assessment

• Evidence based practice AND practice-based evidence

• Optimising inclusivity in Eating Disorder spaces - your role

• “Where do I start?” - setting up your Dietetic care with a solid foundation

• Communication skills, working & collaborating with a health team

• Trauma-informed care

• Specific counselling skills that are essential in ED work

• Aligning your practice with stages of change

• Pacing & flow of sessions over time, setting expectations and boundaries

• Medical monitoring & tracking of client progress

• Working with adolescents, families, adults

• “What do I say when….” troubleshooting

• Cases to bring presentations to life, and offers more realistic opportunities to learn.

• How, when & why to bring topics such as body image and weight stigma into the conversation

• Understanding our own stuck-points and what gets in the way for us doing this work

• Supervision and ongoing support for Dietitians

Please note that we will not be a training specifically in any particular therapeutic/counselling or treatment modality (eg. ACT, DBT or eg. FBT or CBT-E) but will cover these topics in broad form with the intention of inviting and encouraging you to pursue further training in specific ways of working with clients, groups and communities.

About your facilitators:

Fiona Sutherland (The Mindful Dietitian) & Shane Jeffrey (River Oak Health), are both Australian APD’s (Accredited Practising Dietitians) and have over 20 years of Eating Disorder specific experience each, working across practice settings including clinical, community, private practice & education. They are both currently members of the Australian New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders (ANZAED), with Shane as Treasurer and Fiona as a general member and Co-Convenor of the Nutrition Special Interest Group (SIG). They are both highly experienced educators and workshop facilitators, co-presenting this workshop live in Australia as a 2-day workshop early in 2020 in several locations prior to COVID.

How will the live online course work?

We hope that you are able to join us for all, or at least most of the live sessions. We understand that it’s not always possible to attend live, and we ask that where it is possible that these hours are prioritised to optimise your learning experience.

All sessions with be recorded (with your consent) and uploaded into the course platform “Teachable” so you can keep the content forever. All resources, handouts, worksheets, research, reflection activities etc will also be uploaded to this site.

Your other training options:

We encourage you to seek training that feels like a good match to you and your individual circumstances and have some suggestions which we highly recommend.

If you’re looking for take-it-at-your-own-pace online training, I recommend Marci Evans Nutrition Counselling for Eating Disorders course - all Marci’s courses are fantastic!!

Another online option here is Jessica Setnicks Eating Disorders Bootcamp, a highly regarded workshop (now online only temporarily we hope!) from someone very experienced.

Our Commitment to an as-Inclusive-as-possible experience

We acknowledge that absolute inclusivity in this training will not be possible but as white, highly privileged Australians working within a complex system, we are working to bring you training that demonstrates thoughtfulness and efforts to make space for as many experiences and people as possible. We are committed to a high-consent process at all steps, and invite your feedback at any time if we can improve these processes.

We are doing this in two ways which, combined, we hope provides a greater opportunity for Dietitians to participate in training which is accessible, and reflects deep respect and care:

1. Thoughtfully reflecting on course content to reflect on any material that may feel unsafe, disrespectful or repeat past experiences where power has been enacted in harmful ways.

2. Offering an equity pricing model for participants which acknowledges people’s varied capacities and lived experiences (see below for more details, contact Fiona directly to enquire about Equity pricing).

REGISTRATION DETAILS:

EARLY BIRD (until August 10th, 2020)

$445 + GST (ANZAED members), $495 + GST (Non Members)

REGULAR (from August 11th)

$495 + GST (ANZAED Members), $545 (Non Members)

NOTE: Two-part payment plans are available

Currency Conversion: At time of launch AUD $1 = NZD $1.05 = USD $0.70 = CDN $0.94 = GPB 0.55

Convert my currency HERE

Please contact me if your workplace will be supporting you to attend, I can issue invoices directly.

Equity Pricing:

Accessible pricing is important to us, as a reflection of our genuine commitment to equity in training and education for Dietitians. A pricing model has been developed which aims to offer a variety of price points for people who are experiencing hardship, are from marginalised groups or are from low- and middle-income countries (OECD listing here).

If you’re looking for take-it-at-your-own-pace online training, I recommend Marci Evans Nutrition Counselling for Eating Disorders course - all Marci’s courses are fantastic!!

Another online option here is Jessica Setnicks Eating Disorders Bootcamp, a highly regarded workshop (now online only temporarily we hope!) from someone very experienced.

Our Commitment to an as-Inclusive-as-possible experience

We acknowledge that absolute inclusivity in this training will not be possible but as white, highly privileged Australians working within a complex system, we are working to bring you training that demonstrates thoughtfulness and efforts to make space for as many experiences and people as possible. We are committed to a high-consent process at all steps, and invite your feedback at any time if we can improve these processes.

We are doing this in two ways which, combined, we hope provides a greater opportunity for Dietitians to participate in training which is accessible, and reflects deep respect and care:

1. Thoughtfully reflecting on course content to reflect on any material that may feel unsafe, disrespectful or repeat past experiences where power has been enacted in harmful ways.

2. Offering an equity pricing model for participants which acknowledges people’s varied capacities and lived experiences (see below for more details, contact Fiona directly to enquire about Equity pricing).

REGISTRATION DETAILS:

EARLY BIRD (until August 10th, 2020)

$445 + GST (ANZAED members), $495 + GST (Non Members)

REGULAR (from August 11th)

$495 + GST (ANZAED Members), $545 (Non Members)

NOTE: Two-part payment plans are available

Currency Conversion: At time of launch AUD $1 = NZD $1.05 = USD $0.70 = CDN $0.94 = GPB 0.55

Please contact me if your workplace will be supporting you to attend, I can issue invoices directly.

Equity Pricing:

Accessible pricing is important to us, as a reflection of our genuine commitment to equity in training and education for Dietitians. A pricing model has been developed which aims to offer a variety of price points for people who are experiencing hardship, are from marginalised groups or are from low- and middle-income countries (OECD listing here).

You may have been seeing clients with clinical eating disorders for some time, and you are more than welcome too! This workshop is designed as a comprehensive and practical dive into dietetic care and may act as a very suitable review or update of existing skills and understandings.

There are more commonalities than differences with Eating Disorder care worldwide, and we have designed this course to be suitable for, and thoughtful about the needs of, as many Dietitians as possible wherever you are in the world. Please do reach out if you have any questions, and see other course options below to get a good idea of whether this will be suitable for you.

You can expect to leave with a thorough understanding of:

• The role of the Dietitian in ED care, including scope of practice

• Inclusive, thoughtful Dietetic screening and assessment

• Evidence based practice AND practice-based evidence

• Optimising inclusivity in Eating Disorder spaces - your role

• “Where do I start?” - setting up your Dietetic care with a solid foundation

• Communication skills, working & collaborating with a health team

• Trauma-informed care

• Specific counselling skills that are essential in ED work

• Aligning your practice with stages of change

• Pacing & flow of sessions over time, setting expectations and boundaries

• Medical monitoring & tracking of client progress

• Working with adolescents, families, adults

• “What do I say when….” troubleshooting

• Cases to bring presentations to life, and offers more realistic opportunities to learn.

• How, when & why to bring topics such as body image and weight stigma into the conversation

• Understanding our own stuck-points and what gets in the way for us doing this work

• Supervision and ongoing support for Dietitians

Please note that we will not be a training specifically in any particular therapeutic/counselling or treatment modality (eg. ACT, DBT or eg. FBT or CBT-E) but will cover these topics in broad form with the intention of inviting and encouraging you to pursue further training in specific ways of working with clients, groups and communities.

Body Image: The Missing Piece of Body Healing

Your hosts: Marci Evans (Marci RD) & Fiona Sutherland (The Mindful Dietitian)

After highly successful live workshops in the USA and UK through 2018. Marci and Fi bring this workshop to Australia, specifically designed for Dietitians and health professionals working with clients and communities who present with body image concerns.

If you are looking to enhance your nutrition counseling skills and confidence when working with eating disorders, chronic dieting, and any health or other condition or experiences which impacts how someone feels about their body, this is definitely the training you’ve been waiting for.

As clinicians, we know that body dissatisfaction and constantly driving for body changes harms people, and keeps them stuck in the merry-go-round of body-hating hell. Even well-intentioned and highly trained clinicians can do harm if they’re not sure what to do, and we too can be drawn into people’s body distress and find ourselves backed into a corner. We also know that diet culture, Dr Google and the latest round of “wellness experts” can be noisy, and very seductive.

In this workshop you can expect to:

• Develop a strong working knowledge based on the most up-to-date research related to body image: including assessments, definitions, neuroscience, and effective interventions.

• Develop a deeper understand of concepts and experiences such as weight bias, weight stigma, fat phobia and internalised fat phobia, and the roles they play in both perpetuating and potential healing of body image.

• Integrate the “Model for Body Image Healing” as a conceptual framework used to understand, process, and transform your client’s body image experience.

• Learn the language of negative body image and increase confidence in having clear conversations with people who experience a poor relationship with their body.

• Learn how to navigate those tricky conversations about bodies while staying calm and centered yourself – we know it’s not always easy!

• Build confidence in staying on track, even if you feel under pressure

• Increase understanding, confidence and skilfulness in the multitude of specific strategies for body image healing.

• Connect with other like-minded colleagues as we navigate the care for those who are struggling with their body image

Workshop Payment Options:

We understand that 2020 might be a significant PD year for many people and as such, we want to make the June 2020 Workshops most manageable.

Smash Diet Culture by Strengthening your Weight-Inclusive Communication;

A day retreat with Christy Harrison & Fiona Sutherland

Don’t miss this AMAZING opportunity to join expert communicator Christy Harrison, author of the newly published book Anti Diet and host of Food Psych podcast, along with Fiona Sutherland (that’s me!), workshop and group therapy facilitator and host of “The Mindful Dietitian” podcast, for this unique day retreat at the magnificent and iconic Montsalvat property in Eltham.

As health professionals and humans, we want to help make the world a more inclusive place for bodies of all shapes and sizes. We want to SMASH diet culture and support people in breaking free from what Christy calls “The Life Thief.” And yet we can often find ourselves feeling anxious in important moments, swayed by dominant narratives and silenced by our own fears and feelings of inadequacy.

This unique day aims to support you to:

• Deepen your understanding of effective communication techniques, including verbal and written styles

• Develop or strengthen a voice that elevates others, our collective vision of body liberation, AND your business, so that we can all continue doing important work

• Consider your audience and how to most effectively translate your message for individuals, groups, and the general public

• Bring your online and offline messaging into alignment with your non-diet, weight-inclusive values 

• Develop skills for staying centered and grounded in communication moments that matter

• Identify ways you can strengthen your own communication alongside seeking opportunities to ‘pass the mic’ to others with lived experience in ways which elevate collective healing

Start the day with some yoga with Fi before moving into the workshop. It’ll be a dynamic, energising and FUN day, leaving you feeling more confident and capable of communicating your weight-inclusive message to the world.

Please note: we will not be spending time covering the basics of Non Diet Approach and Health At Every Size® (HAES); it is expected that you already have knowledge, experience, and skills in these principles and how they translate to practice.

Prior to attending, we ask that you:

• Read Intuitive Eating, 3rd edition (Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch)

• Read Anti-Diet (Christy Harrison)

• Read Body Respect (Lindo Bacon & Lucy Aphramor)

• Be familiar with HAES® principles and social-justice orientations to healthcare

• Attend the Non Diet Approach workshop with Fiona Willer & Fiona Sutherland (please contact Fiona Sutherland if you have not attended)

People with eating and body-image concerns generally experience high levels of self-criticism, self-directed hostility and shame. Furthermore, these individuals tend to have difficulties generating and activating affiliative and self-soothing emotions.

Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) was developed specifically to addresses these issues in presentations resistant to standard treatment approaches. Since then, CFT for eating disorders (CFT-E) has been designed to incorporate compassion-focused strategies into standard eating disorder treatment approaches.This workshop will describe

1. the theoretical rationale for a compassion focused approach as part of eating disorder treatment

2. the adaptation and incorporation of CFT-E within standard eating disorder therapies

3. a review of the current evidence-base for CFT-E, and

4. the use of CFT-E in clinical practice across the spectrum and various modes of inpatient-and community-based services.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the workshops, participants will:
1. Possess an understanding of the foundations and principals of Compassion Focused Therapy
2. Develop a CFT formulation of clients’ eating and weight concerns.
3. Integrate a CFT approach into current treatment modalities.

​​Dr. Kiera Buchanan is the founding director of Centre for Integrative Health as well as a Clinical Psychologist and Health Psychologist. Kiera has extensive research and clinical experience in the field of eating and weight concerns, having published papers, presented at conferences, and delivered training workshops for health professionals in the field. Her passion and dedication to the field is demonstrated through her positions on a number of state and national-wide committees including the Queensland State-Wide Eating Disorder Advisory Group and the Australian & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders.

A workshop for Dietitians and Therapists to build skills in navigating conversations, interactions and tricky moments - with clients, colleagues, anyone - with greater insight, presence and skillfulness. Focussing primarily on the practitioner experience (with skills you can share with your clients too!), we will be having important conversations about ​

WHY our presence matters
HOW we can cultivate specific types of awareness which makes a difference and
WHAT are the practical skills we can take into everyday practice and life with us.

What you can expect:

You will leave this workshop feeling refreshed, confident and more capable of bringing your best into each and every contact you have with clients, communities and colleagues.

We’ll be spending the morning exploring what we mean by “presence” both from a neuro-biological point of view (geek alert!) & the mechanisms which can knock us off centre in those vital moments. We’ll also be getting right down into what we mean by “tough conversations” (what it means to YOU) & how you definitely know you’re in one.

We’ll be exploring specifically how we can use our mindfulness skills to notice, get curious and tune in to leave you be better equipped to make decisions & handle any difficult conversations which come your way. We’ll definitely be getting practical, and I'll be sharing with you specific tools, skills and resources you can take with you into practice right away.

Meet lots of people who share the same dilemmas as you, and will have your most burning questions answered. We'll dig into some tricky topics, have lots of discussion and definitely get into some practice! I'll aim to provide an environment where we can nudge your edges & support you to explore ways to elevate, deepen and broaden your skills.

Sounds all too serious? Nah! We'll definitely have fun. Guaranteed.

You can expect this workshop to definitely be steeped in weight and body inclusive Health At Every Size (R) principles, no exceptions. All bodies are welcome (and please reach out to make sure we support you in any body inclusive way eg. seating, accessibility, dietary requirements)

FAQ's

• Each day will begin at 9am sharp and finish at 4:30pm

• If you are not a Dietitian, you are MORE than welcome. In previous workshops of this topic, I have hosted therapists from varying backgrounds.

• 7 x CPD points (assessed) will apply for this workshop
