The Centre for Clinical Interventions (CCI) in WA is pleased to announce the availability of online Eating Disorders resources. The new resources include handouts and worksheets for clinicians, and two information packs for consumers:
Overcoming Disordered Eating - Part A: This information package is designed to provide information about disordered eating - how it develops, how it is maintained, and strategies to start to change the problem behaviours associated with disordered eating and weight control habits. This information package is organised into modules that are designed to be worked through in sequence. Each module contains information, worksheets, and suggested exercises or activities.
Overcoming Disordered Eating - Part B: This second information package follows on the Overcoming Disordered Eating - Part A, and provides some strategies and techniques to change the thinking patterns associated with disordered eating.

Eating Disorders First Aid
Mental Health First Aid Guidelines for Eating Disorders is 5-page document outlining "first aid" guidelines for eating disorders. They have been released through the Orygen Youth Health Research Centre at the University of Melbourne. The guidelines were compiled by a panel of mental health experts from Australia, NZ, Canada, the UK and the USA, and include information on warning signs and risks of eating disorders; approaching and supporting someone with an eating disorder; and information on seeking emergency medical help.

Medical Risk Management and Early Recognition: Critical Points
The Academy of Eating Disorders has just released an important document related to the early recognition and Medical Risk Management in the Care of Individuals with Eating Disorders. I post this primarily for professionals, but also for parents and patients. One of our aims at The Redleaf Practice is to educate patients and families about the eating disorders. It may be useful for parents to download the document and to take it to their medical provider to ensure that they are as informed about the medical complications of eating disorders as they can be.
You can download a copy of the form by clicking on AED Medical Risk Management.

Online Therapist-Assisted Treatment Program for Bulimia Nervosa: Bulimia Online
Do you often feel out of control of what or how much you are eating? Do you often eat more than most people would in a similar amount of time and under similar circumstances? Do you often vomit, use laxatives or exercise excessively after eating large amounts of food? Is your self worth strongly influenced by your weight and shape?
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above you may be eligible to participate in a research study being conducted at Swinburne University evaluating an online therapist-assisted treatment program for bulimia called Bulimia Online. Bulimia Online has been developed in accordance with evidence based practice and has been reviewed by experts in the field. The program includes 12 interactive modules addressing areas such as food monitoring, regular eating, body image and mindfulness.
To be eligible for participation you need to visit anxietyonline.org.au where you will be asked to create an account so that you can complete an online psychological assessment (e-PASS). After you have completed the assessment if you meet criteria for bulimia and fulfil other inclusion criteria (such as having a body mass index of 18 or above, residing in Australia and having access to the internet) you will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study.
If you have any questions or would like further information about this study please contact Associate Professor Britt Klein at bklein@swin.edu.au or Jacqueline Baulch at jbaulch@swin.edu.au
