Updated handouts for eating disorders

Updated eating disorders handouts now available

One of the core areas of CCI’s business is the creation of freely available online resources that are accessible to both consumers and professionals. These include a range of guided self-help modules, as well as many information sheets covering a wide range of topics relating to mental health. These online resources are regularly accessed by people all over the world, and we are fortunate to frequently receive feedback from individuals and organisations that have used our resources (either for research, clinical practice or their own personal use) and have found them to be clear, accurate, and helpful.

During 2017, CCI’s Eating Disorders Program team have been hard at work reviewing each and every one of their handouts, with the support of various experts in the field. This has involved carefully revising the content of each handout to ensure they contain the most up to date evidence-based information that is easy and accessible for both professionals and consumers to read and utilise. In early 2018 the team were excited to launch their updated handouts onto the website. With over 35 individual handouts on a broad range of topics relating to eating disorders (such as Why Dieting Does Not Work, Eating Disorders in Males, Media and Body Image, Gastrointestinal Changes… and many more!) we are hopeful these will serve as a valuable resource for a wide range of individuals.

We would like to extend our thanks to Professor Tracy Wade as well as dieticians Susan Hart, Caitlin McMaster and Kate Fleming, who have collaborated on the review of these handouts and provided valuable feedback.
