Great News for Anorexia Parents.

By Dr John Metcalff. 

Thanks to the efforts of Dr Irina Webster and the world renowned expert on eating disorders Professor Tony Jorm of the University of Melbourne and other medical professionals. There is soon to be released a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program that is designed to help the public deal with a person who is developing a mental illness, experiencing a mental health crisis or has an on-going mental health problem in the area of eating disorders.

The research is being conducted by ORYGEN Research Centre at the University of Melbourne, Psychiatry Department and includes impute from expert eating disorder practitioners like Dr Irina Webster and other world renowned researchers.

The aim of the project is to produce guidelines for members of the public who are providing Mental Health First Aid to someone who is suspected to be experiencing or developing an eating disorder. 

This research aims to describe how a member of the public should approach a friend, family member or loved one to discuss and help them with a suspected eating disorder. The guidelines developed by this research will be applied in training courses across developed English speaking countries in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America. Guidelines for a number of mental health crisis situations, including Depression, Psychosis, Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviours, and Deliberate Self-Injury have been developed over the past two years

This project has the potential to lead to better community support for people who are experiencing or developing an eating disorder, by providing guidance to family, friends or loved ones who care for those with mental health problems. The Mental Health First Aid guidelines developed by this project will be relevant internationally for English-speaking countries and will be implemented in a range of training courses.

This project has been approved by the University of Melbourne Human Research Ethics Committee. If you have concerns about the ethics of the study, please contact:

Executive Officer, Human Research Ethics,
