The outstanding results of The Royal Children’s Hospital Centre for Adolescent Health eating disorders program has been highlighted in the Sunday Age (22/1/12)http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/family-ties-helping-teenagers-rise-above-anorexia-20120121-1qbcy.html
Two families talked about their path to recovery by undertaking an intensive
in-home treatment known as Family Based Treatment. This form of therapy was
developed by the Maudsley Hospital, London and implemented by the Centre for
Adolescent Health in 2008.
To read the words, “Before, we were not really focused on cure because we saw it so infrequently for those who were very unwell. Cure is now expected,” in response to a complex health issue such as anorexia, gives families hope for the future.
The RCH eating disorders team won 2 prestigious awards in 2011 in recognition of the significance of this program – https://blogs.rch.org.au/cah/2011/11/23/eating-disorders-program-wins-2nd-award-in-two-days/
