Eating Disorders in Adolescence & Emerging Adulthood – Two Day Training Workshop 

Tipperary Rape Crisis Centre in conjunction with Blackfort Adolescent Gestalt Institute presents a Two-Day Training Workshop on Eating Disorders in Adolescence & Emerging Adulthood

27th & 28th March 2023 (Monday & Tuesday) in the Clonmel Park Hotel, Clonmel, Co Tipperary. (9.30 am-4.30 pm: Registration from 9:00 am on Monday 27th March 2023)

Today’s adolescents are bombarded with shaming, unrealistic and confusing messages about weight, body shape and beauty. Bodies are machines to be managed and are a source of torture for many adolescents. This workshop will explore how the adolescent’s relationship to body and food is a creative statement about how they feel about themselves and their world. Participants will develop an understanding of eating disorders specific to adolescence including anorexia nervosa, adolescent anorectic profile, bulimia nervosa, selective/ restrictive eating, food refusal & food phobia.

We will examine various aspects of this complex issue including:

  • The impact of eating disorders on adolescent development
  • Eating disorders & adolescent brain development
  • The adolescents subjective experience through an eating disorder
  • Supporting the adolescents meaning-making process
  • Supporting parents
  • Multi-agency work
  • Supporting the adolescents recovery
  • Parental Involvement
  • Countertransference & clinical dilemmas

This 2-day training normally €320 however Tipperary Rape Crisis Centre is delighted to be able to offer the full 2 days training for only €200.

A series of Workshops on Loss and Bereavement taking place online from January to June 2023 can be found by visiting https://hospicefoundation.ie/our-supports-services/education-training/bereavement-workshops/

Who are they for?

Professionals and volunteers who may wish to learn more about loss and bereavement and for those working with people who have experienced a major loss.

Our workshops are framed relative to the HSE palliative care competence framework at level two: for people whose work increasingly sees them engaging with people facing loss, bereavement and death. Specifically, the competence dimension for grief and loss; and the competence dimension for communication are of relevance to workshop content and learning outcomes.

Accreditation- Professional accreditation is under application from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland. If you have other accreditation needs please contact us. A certificate of participation/attendance at the workshops is available on request.
