Description
The Southern Support Eating Disorder Service provides education and collaborative working partnerships for health practitioners in the Southern region (Waitaki, Otago, Southland, and Central Otago). We work alongside other clinicians and offer a clinical learning model, providing support, expertise and resources to plan and complete appropriate assessment/treatment interventions for clients who have disordered eating/eating disorder issues.
You can access the SSED service through:
- The Co-working pathway [see link below]. Requests can be received from any source, including primary health services, NGOs, community and inpatient mental health services
- Request for education/training on topics related to eating disorders.
The SSEDS model provides for two pathways:
- Pathway 1: Clinician work only: SSEDS provides specialist knowledge and consultation to the clinician, regarding specific client needs, assessment tools, treatment approaches and referral pathways that the clinician could utilise. This could consist of an initial consultation and/or ongoing support and advice.
- Pathway 2: Clinician and client meeting: SSEDS works face-to-face with the clinician and their client. This usually would consist of one session per client, at the assessment or treatment planning stage, followed by ongoing support and advice to the clinician as required.
