Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) for Severe and Enduring Anorexia Nervosa

Psychologist and BodyMatters Director Sarah McMahon presents a one day workshop on Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) for Severe and Enduring Anorexia nervosa. | Zoom, Tuesday 25 March 2025 10am to 5pm AEST

Price: $451 ($400 + GST + TryBooking Processing Fee)

Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM) was originally designed as a placebo comparative treatment in a clinical trial for the treatment of anorexia nervosa and showed promising results. Since then, SSCM has continued to be used and has proven to be a valid and effective treatment for anorexia nervosa. SSCM combines a range of tools including clinical management, psychoeducation, and encouragement with a supportive therapeutic style, working collaboratively with clients to target speciﬁc eating disorder symptoms. The aim of the therapy is to empower clients to make a link between their symptoms, eating behaviour, and weight, and to support them to gradually return to normal eating and weight. Through this workshop, participants will gain an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of SSCM, recognise when SSCM is indicated and contraindicated, and identify the target symptoms of the approach. The workshop will also cover the three-phase structure of SSCM and equip participants with the skills to apply SSCM as a treatment for Anorexia Nervosa.

This is an NEDC credentialed training.

The learning objectives of this course include understanding the magnitude and impact of body image concerns and the extent to which our clients can make peace with their bodies. Participants will deconstruct the cultural landscape that breeds body image issues and learn how to use nuanced language to reduce body shame.

CBT-based exercises to improve clients' body image. Please note: this workshop is informed by the principles of a health-based paradigm as a framework for understanding body image concerns.

Eating Disorders and Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery

Dr Carmel Harrison, a Clinical Psychologist and Mari Harrison, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician present a one day workshop on Eating Disorders and Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery. | Zoom, Monday 19 May 2025 9AM to 4PM AEST

Price: $451 ($400 + GST + TryBooking Processing Fee)

Many people who have undergone or are considering Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery also struggle with disordered eating and in the absence of any specific training eating disorder clinicians may be struggling with questions like: How do you assess for eating disorders following Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery? What is dumping syndrome? Slider foods? Plugging? How might cognitive behavioural therapy change? What does ‘normal’ eating look like post Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery? Should their eating disorder have been treated before the surgery?

This workshop is multidisciplinary and open to psychologists, dietitians, mental health occupational therapists and general practitioners. It is assumed clinicians are trained in eating disorder treatment as relevant to their discipline. The course is designed as an introduction to Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery where no prior training in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery has been completed previously.

This workshop provides an introduction to Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, exploring different surgery types, weight loss mechanisms, and their relationship with eating disorders. Participants will gain insight into diagnosis and treatment adaptations, including cognitive behavioural therapy, while reviewing the evidence base for managing disordered eating in this context.
