InnovatED: Bridging eating disorder care from adolescence to adulthood
Registrations now open!
CEED is bringing together clinicians, researchers, lived experience advocates, service leaders, educators, and policy stakeholders to explore innovative approaches to eating disorder care for young adults.
How do we better understand and respond to the person behind the diagnosis?
Young adults with eating disorders are not defined solely by symptoms or treatment pathways. Their experiences are shaped by identity, culture, neurobiology, family relationships, developmental stage, life experiences, strengths, and aspirations. This forum provides an opportunity to examine how services can move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach and deliver truly person-centred care.
Together, we will explore the diverse experiences of emerging adults with eating disorders, share innovative approaches to care, strengthen collaboration across the sector, and generate new ideas to improve outcomes. Our shared goal is to move beyond diagnosis and foster compassionate, inclusive, developmentally informed care that responds to the unique needs of each young person.
ABOUT THE FORUM
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in CEED’s upcoming Forum focused on supporting young adults with eating disorders.
Emerging adulthood is a time of growth, exploration, and possibility, but it can also be a period of significant challenge. When an eating disorder is part of the picture, these challenges can become even more complex. Yet alongside these difficulties sits enormous hope.
The forum is designed to provide an opportunity for our sector to come together and reflect on how we can better support young adults. How can we create care that is developmentally informed, person-centred, and meaningful? How can we design services and systems that truly respond to the needs of this age group?
Most importantly, this forum is a reminder that the young people we support are far more than their diagnosis. They are individuals with strengths, values, relationships, hopes, and dreams. To provide the best possible care, we must strive to understand the whole person.
I hope the forum discussions spark new ideas, strengthen connections, and inspire us to continue building systems of care that help young people not only recover, but thrive.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
