A monthly group that includes activities and strategies for coping and staying connected. This group is facilitated by Kayla and Amira, and alternates between online and in-person. Careful consideration is made in facilitating this group as it can often be the first time a client engages with EDQ services and gets insight into the counselling interventions used and the community that exists at EDQ. The group aims to support clients until they can move into more intensive therapy and support services. Participants are introduced to various therapeutic and support interventions as well as providing ongoing recovery skills and reminders to help their recovery pathway.
Hello, this will be your first step in engaging with Eating Disorders QLD (EDQ). We acknowledge that it can be difficult to discuss your experiences of caring for a loved one with an eating disorder and body image issues.
To make it a bit easier, we have developed this form you can complete and send back to us.
Once this form is completed, one of our Carer & Key Support Coaches will contact you to discuss the next steps in the process of engaging with EDQ.
Please note, your loved one with an eating disorder does not need a formal diagnosis and can be any age for you as the carer to access our supports.
EDQ Cancellation Policy:
• EDQ requires 48 working hours’ notice of cancellation for all appointments
• In the event of 3 late cancellations or no-shows, your practitioner will discuss other support options with you before booking another appointment
We will email you a written Consent and Rights & Responsibilities Form for you to review and sign before your Intake Appointment. These documents detail how we handle your information. If you have any queries, feel free to ask any staff member.
