The Bouverie Centre Upcoming Workshops

Working with children and youth impacted by eating disorders often requires clinicians to respond to complex circumstances. Engagement with the individuals and families may be brief and unpredictable, however, they are opportunities to build trust and support motivation for change.

Single Session Thinking (SST) is particularly well suited to child and youth eating disorder settings, where timely, developmentally attuned, and collaborative care can strengthen therapeutic alliances, relational health goals, and improve engagement and outcomes across inpatient, outpatient, and community contexts.

Single Session Thinking: Child and Youth Eating Disorders (SST-CYED) is a practice framework implementation workshop aimed at developing foundational knowledge and skills in the SST framework and to support its application within child and youth eating disorder practice.

This is an implementation‑focused workshop led by experienced clinicians with expertise in child and youth eating disorders and Single Session Thinking (SST) practice.

Eating disorders often bring urgency, complexity and significant impact on relationships. Clients and their support networks frequently need timely, focused help that builds safety, clarity and collaboration from the very first contact.

Single Session Family Consultation (SSFC) is well-suited for this work. Its emphasis on early engagement, family‑informed agendas and collaborative goal setting enables clinicians to work effectively with individuals and their support networks in the moments that matter most. SSFC supports meaningful therapeutic conversations that strengthen relational health and safety to enable recovery ‑oriented outcomes across a diverse range of therapeutic settings.

This full‑day implementation workshop strengthens your Single Session Family Consultation (SSFC) skills and supports their application in adult eating disorder family work. Designed as a practical companion to the Bouverie Centre’s self‑paced SSFC online course (sold separately), the training focuses on translating core systemic and single‑session concepts into effective, real‑world clinical practice, supports integration of SSFC principles across inpatient, outpatient and community settings with couples, families and broader support networks.

Participants will learn the practical application of SSFC skills across the convening, conducting and follow‑up stages within a supportive small‑group environment, with a strong emphasis on experiential learning and reflective discussion.
