CCSW workshops are for people who provide support to a person with an Eating Disorder.
Caring for someone with an eating disorder can be very challenging for families and support people. It’s important that care givers are equipped with skills and knowledge to empower the caring journey.
CCSW workshops are designed for parents, partners, siblings or friends of someone with an eating disorder. They are aimed at improving carer’s well being, developing coping strategies and increasing problem solving skills.
The workshop is based on research conducted by Professor Janet Treasure and is proven to reduce carer burden and distress.
Zero tolerance towards violence
Eating Disorders Victoria (EDV) takes a zero-tolerance approach towards violence, aggression and/or violent threats. EDV has an obligation to provide a safe and healthy workplace where people are not subjected to aggression and/or violence. This policy is in place for both our staff and our community.
In line with Safe Work Australia, violence is defined as:
- Physical e.g. biting, scratching, hitting, kicking, pushing, grabbing, throwing objects, coughing or spitting on someone;
- Psychological e.g. bullying, harassment, threats;
- Verbal, written or online e.g. abuse, yelling, name-calling, swearing, written correspondence including electronic means or online (such as via social media platforms).
- One off or repeated incidents
Breaching of this policy can lead to the termination of contact with EDV.
