The Eating Disorder Program (EDP) Wrap-Around Team
The EDP wrap around team is a specialist team of professionals with lived experience and professional backgrounds. We work in partnership with case managers to provide holistic care to young people and their families. Operating from a ‘resources on tap, not on top’ principle, the team are brought in when invited and can provide support alongside the therapeutic work your family are engaged in with your case manager.
A ‘case manager’ is appointed to each young person and their family. The case manager is the ‘go-to’ person and are responsible for coordinating care and monitoring your family’s progress towards your goals. The case manager is the main clinician who works directly with the family to support the young person’s recovery.
