Eating disorders often bring urgency, complexity and significant impact on relationships. Clients and their support networks frequently need timely, focused help that builds safety, clarity and collaboration from the very first contact.

Single Session Family Consultation (SSFC) is well-suited for this work. Its emphasis on early engagement, family informed agendas and collaborative goal setting enables clinicians to work effectively with individuals and their support networks in the moments that matter most. SSFC supports meaningful therapeutic conversations that strengthen relational health and safety to enable recovery oriented outcomes across a diverse range of therapeutic settings.

This full day implementation workshop strengthens your Single Session Family Consultation (SSFC) skills and supports their application in adult eating disorder family work. Designed as a practical companion to the Bouverie Centre’s self paced SSFC online course (sold separately), the training focuses on translating core systemic and single session concepts into effective, real world clinical practice, supports integration of SSFC principles across inpatient, outpatient and community settings with couples, families and broader support networks.

Participants will learn the practical application of SSFC skills across the convening, conducting and follow up stages within a supportive small group environment, with a strong emphasis on experiential learning and reflective discussion.
