Collaborative Care Skills Workshop

Facilitator Training

Presented by CEED Team Leader Lived Experience Bliss Jackman and Senior Clinician Rhiannon Griggs.

Thursday 6 March – Friday 7 March 2025. 9.30am – 4.00pm.

CCSW is an evidence-based carer intervention that has been shown to reduce psychological distress, burden, expressed emotion and emotional over-involvement in carers of people experiencing an eating disorder.

This training provides facilitator training in CCSW, in conjunction with a comprehensive support package which will provide participants with the skills, knowledge and information to support carers of people with an eating disorder within their service.

During the training, participants will have the opportunity to participate in experiential based learning activities, as well as be provided the opportunity to develop a plan to implement CCSW into their service.

This facilitator training will provide participants with:

• An in-depth overview of CCSW key principles and content
• The opportunity to engage in the workshop activities
• The opportunity to further develop and practice motivational interviewing, which underpins the workshop content
• The support to develop an implementation plan that will enable you to deliver the workshops in your local area
