Brit has completed further study with a Master of Clinical Family Therapy and is passionate about understanding mental health difficulties and individual strengths within a systemic framework. Her work is grounded in attachment-based practice, trauma-informed principles and prioritising forming strong therapeutic working relationships with families. She is an advocate for person-centred care, celebrating the diversity of all human experiences and bodies. Brit is thankful for the lived experience wisdom of the young people and families she has worked alongside that help inform her practice.
Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is the recommended first-line therapy for young people with eating disorders, and efforts in NSW focus on expanding access to this care through workforce training. InsideOut Institute in collaboration with Prof Daniel Le Grange pioneered the development of a “train the trainer” model, enabling experienced clinicians to become FBT trainers and deliver education locally. Experienced clinicians were provided with extensive training by Daniel Le Grange to become trainers in FBT. This approach increases training accessibility, strengthens the workforce, and ultimately allows more young people and their families to receive evidence-based treatment close to home
In Progress
The NSW Service Plan emphasises having the Right People with the Right Skills in the Right Place. This highlights the need for a skilled, multidisciplinary workforce to support people with eating disorders across all levels of care. To achieve this, InsideOut efforts focus on building workforce Capacity and Capability across all NSW Health Services, providing NSW Health staff with training opportunities. This helps to ensure that individuals and their families receive high-quality, evidence-informed care close to home.
