Hosted by the Isle of Wight Association for Family and Systemic Psychotherapy

A virtual workshop, via Zoom

Facilitators: Julian Samiloff (Family Therapist) & Lisa Poole (Dietitian)

Background

Julian Samiloff and Lisa Poole began working together in the Southern Health, Blake Day Service; an 8-week programme for under 18s with Anorexia Nervosa. It invites young people and their families to come together and work in a group-based programme, [informed by the Maudsley model]. The programme began in November 2024 and has since run 10 successful cohorts. 

Programme Aims

To support:

• Families sharing experiences and finding support with each other.
• The professionals to get closer to the ‘Stories Lived’ of those families.
• The Co-creation of practical strategies to challenge anorexia.
• Families open to have contact with members of the clinical team, of therapists, nursing and health care staff.

Workshop Aims

• To stimulate thinking, be useful, invite wider conversations around developing treatments (for Anorexia and/or other presenting issues, including developmental and mental health challenges)
• To invite colleagues to share in our stories of building and delivering the service and to contribute to developing our thinking
• To tell the stories of how new ideas arrived and shaped family therapy and dietetic practice
• To show family therapy and dietetics [et al] cross fertilising practices
• That participants will enrich both curiosity and systemic irreverence.

Our hope is that this workshop sparks meaningful conversations about anorexia nervosa treatment and clinical practice

Fee for the day: £30 (reductions available if unwaged)
