UPSKILL - Skill building for carers doing family-led refeeding

UPSKILL is an online skills based course for carers who are currently utilising a family-led refeeding (or FBT/Maudsley) approach for their child and need skills and support to manage this process. 

Our weekly themes are:

• Week 1: Meal Support
• Week 2: The Role of the Carer
• Week 3: Managing Distress
• Week 4: Managing Eating Disorder Behaviours
• Week 5: Boundary Setting
• Week 6: Managing the Impact of an Eating Disorder

Following the presentation, there will be space for shared learning amongst the group, supported by facilitators who also have lived experience caring for a loved one with an eating disorder. 

Who is the course suitable for?
