EATING DISORDERS AND ATHLETES - A COURSE FOR SPORTS DIETITIANS

Online course - Presented by Shane Jeffrey and Fiona Sutherland

It’s widely understood that eating disorders are a significant issue within the athlete setting, across ages, sports and genders. Yet, Sports Dietitians often feel ill-equipped to tackle some of the tricky presentations or situations which may arise.

By the end of this course, our aim is for you to leave significantly more confident in your ability to assess, educate, support and provide leadership in promoting effective communication channels within your sporting setting to more effectively talk about & address eating disorders.

RAVES™ workshops

  • Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland - Dates to be announced

Presented by Shane Jeffrey, developer of the RAVES™ eating model.

The RAVES Eating Model is a robust and evidence informed framework that supports the development of positive food relationships. With over ten years of real world application the RAVES eating model has been adopted by dietitians, psychologists, general practitioners and psychiatrists across a variety of clinical populations. Having been presented at both the national and international level, the RAVES eating model provides a no frills, step-by-step approach to challenging diet culture.

This interactive workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of how the RAVES eating model was developed, and how it can be applied clinically both as a stand alone model and in conjunction with a variety of behaviour change strategies to support sustainable dietary change when working in areas of eating disorders, the non diet approach, and chronic disease.
