Two local clinicians are presenting workshops on youth eating disorders and embracing change.
Lynn Redenbach and Shirley Wade-Linton are presenting the workshops at Serious Coffee on Oct. 3 to help youth and parents.
Redenbach helps clients integrate mindfulness and self-compassion practices with her therapeutic approach and Wade-Linton is a dietician specialising in eating disorders, and an Alexander Technique practitioner who helps clients befriend their bodies as they pursue change.
From 9 a.m. to noon the clinicians, with over 50 years of combined experience, will support participants to embrace the changes they experience with greater ease, grace and embodied acceptance.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about and practice greater presence, which they can utilise in other areas of their lives.
In the afternoon, from 1 to 4 p.m., the two Associated Family Community Support Services clinicians are facilitating a parent education group on youth eating disorders.
Adolescence can be a complicated time for youth and their families and teens can struggle with a number of issues including physical changes, depression, social stressors, low self-esteem and eating disorders.
Parents and guardians who are concerned about intervening and/or preventing their child’s eating problems are invited to attend this free workshop in the meeting room at the Serious Coffee meeting room in Heritage Mall.
Call Redenbach at 250-927-5099 for the required preregistration. The cost of the workshop is $15.
