Our specialist Eating Disorder pathway supports young people with complex eating disorder presentations within a residential setting. At present we offer this service at Maplehurst in Leeds.
Our intensive MDT-supported placements offer specialist person-centred interventions for those with complex eating difficulties. Our model is designed to support young people in maintaining stability within a community placement, avoiding readmission and progressing with recovery towards independence.
Our service supports holistic recovery beyond weight restoration, to support young people in achieving full, meaningful lives outside of their eating difficulties.
