Joining EDITT will give you great opportunities to be part of a supportive and diverse multi-disciplinary team who share the care of young people together.

Our team can support you to learn the bits you may not know.

Working intensively with 6-10 young people; the programme includes individual and family support, meal support, physical health monitoring, Groups (ie. anxiety, food, perfectionism), dietetics, medication assessments and reviews, family and individual psychological therapy.

EDITT runs in 6 weekly cycles; some young people will attend full time for two cycles, others for a shorter time depending on their recovery goals and needs. For some this will be part time as they make the transition back to their community Eating Disorder Team and education.
