Hosted by experienced group Supervisors Fiona Sutherland and Terrill Bruere, this one day live online training aims to leave you “joining the dots” between skills developed in 1:1 Supervision with the unique skills asked of us when working with groups.

Reflections and Intentions has become an annual event for anyone and everyone in The Mindful Dietitian Community, specifically aimed to support health and helping professionals.

No fee, no obligation, no demand. show up as you like.

Please join me if you’re able, recording available for 1 month

This live online training is designed to support Sports Dietitians and anyone working in the Sports environment to understand what trauma is, how it can impacts athletes generally, as well as specifically regarding food, eating and body image.

Trauma is widespread in the general community, and whether it is named or unnamed, shows up in unexpected ways in sports spaces. Additionally and importantly, athletes experiences within the sport can be traumatising or perpetuate previous traumas.

Dietitians and health professionals have an important role in understanding trauma and how it inevitably shows up our shared spaces, including our own trauma experiences.

This course aims to expand your scope of practice, but we will not be introducing you to anything that is not safely within a Dietitians wheelhouse.

Workshop content will include:

• What is trauma and trauma-informed care?

• The role of the Dietitian/health professional, scope of practice

• PTSD, cPTSD (understanding diagnoses including overlapping features)

• Polyvagal theory and nervous system states, including an awareness of our own nervous system    

• Window of Tolerance as a helpful framework and teaching tool

• Case studies to offer illustrations of how trauma might show up

• How to recognise what’s happening in other people’s systems alongside their presenting food, eating and body-related symptoms      

• How to establish safety in the relationship and environment and times when “unsafe” might show up in sports spaces

• Some foundational practices we can use to enhance self and co-regulation

• What Trauma-informed Care can look like in organisations

Registration fees:

Single registration AUD $295 +GST

Learn how to support your clients (and anyone!) in engaging with social media in a safer, more informed way - through becoming informed yourself!

Social media is an ever-changing landscape, and understanding what contributes to risk and protective factors can equip us with the knowledge and confident to have these conversation with athletes in ways that are more impactful. This workshop is designed to elevate the Dietitian or health professional’s skills and understanding about how to better able to support clients to protect themselves, whilst using social media for good.

This workshop is very practical in nature, so please bring your own phone or social media device of choice!

Part 1: changing the algorithm

Hosted by Amanda Bolton and Sarah Egan from Eating Disorders Training Australia, part 1 will introduce you to why social media use can be so fraught, then move into evidence-based strategies you can bring into practice to diversify the algorithm to reduce exposure to potentially harmful content, and boost protective mechanisms.

You will learn:

• what the research says about social media and body image

• the most problematic parts of the most common platforms

• what content is likely to be most harmful for body image and how to influence change to improve this

• how to make and sustain practical changes to influence what is seen to foster body satisfaction

You’ll learn - step by step - HOW to guide your clients to diversify their feed based on other interests and keywords and leave with super practical strategies to take into practice. Bring your phone!

Part 2: Safer social media use

Hosted by Fiona Sutherland, part 2 will move more into how to support people to protect themselves and set effective boundaries when using their own social media accounts and interacting with others online. We will also explorehow to have the very important conversation of “should I engage?” through using a practical reflective framework to support sound, self compassionate decision making.

We will discuss possible situations where images/bodies are being used in other’s social media accounts and how to establish boundaries where consent and privacy are being prioritised. This part of the workshop may be of particular interest to people who are working with higher profile individuals who are representing a company/brand/team/organisation.

Join me along with friends and colleagues from The Mindful Dietitian Community for an hour of reflection, and intention.

You hold space for so many people, and now it’s your turn.

This is a FREE event for everyone in The Mindful Dietitian Community. Rock up as you are, and bring what you need (including paper and pen!)

Every year for the past 10 or so, sometime in December, I put some time aside for reflection and intention setting. Sometimes it's a few hours, sometimes more like a day (if I'm well planned!). Every year I'm so glad I did it, and this year, I'm hoping you'll join me for this free, no obligation time for yourself.

Over time, I've gathered together some questions that I've found really helpful in finding some space amongst the noise, and I'm hoping maybe you will too. I adore my colleagues as many of you know, and to me it's incredibly rewarding to host and hold a space where restoration and clarity is a possibility. Where we can hear ourselves, both past, present and future. We are pretty wise you know!

TLDR: There's no sales pitch and no expectations. Please rock on up however you are, and know that you are welcome. Keep the bar low.

This will be recorded, and available to view/listen (audio included too) until Jan 10th, 2024.

Date and Time

Sat Dec 16th 9-10 AEDT

Friday Dec 15th 2-3pm PST

Friday Dec 15th 5-6pm EST

This will not be a teaching or education space. I will be bringing questions and reflections that I hope feel useful to you in looking back at the year that was, and breathing some life into the turn of the year.

Register here, and you will also have access to the recording until Jan 10th, 2024.

Group Supervision Training for Dietitians

Presenters: Fiona Sutherland, APD and Terrill Bruere, APD

Terrill and Fiona both have many years experience facilitating groups, both in the supervision and community setting. They are passionate about ways in which groups can be powerful vehicles for personal and professional learning and growth.

Information about the Workshop

Group supervision is fundamentally different to individual supervision, and requires a specific suite of skills - group facilitation and reflective supervision - to facilitate effectively in the service of the group member’s learnings. More than a group of individuals in a room, groups invite us to explore and examine ways in which the group can support, bolster and expand growth and reflection in ways which are less possible in dyadic (individual, 1:1) supervision.

Suitable for any Dietitian who is new to new-ish to Supervising individuals and groups or already actively supervising but wanting to boost group supervision skills, this workshop aims to leave you feeling more clear and confident in facilitating groups. Dietitians from any workplace are very welcome - private practice, clinical, community or anywhere you are supervising a group of people

This is going to be a live only workshop (it will not be recorded) with plenty of opportunity for participation and practice to the degree you feel safe and comfortable to do so.

We do request that you have a thorough understanding of Supervision processes and have completed some training either through DSRA (with Tara MacGregor) or another reputable organisation.

Outline and Learning Objectives:

In this workshop you will learn:

• The unique characteristics and challenges of working with groups

• The 4C’s of supervision (Proctor, 2009)

• Different group supervision frameworks and models, their purpose and characteristics

• Getting started with a group

• Clarifying roles - supervisor and group members

• Setting up contracts

• Establishing safety in groups

• Let’s practice!

Fees:

AUD $145 + GST

Foundations of Trauma Informed Dietetic Practice and the Nervous System

NEW 4-WEEK LIVE ONLINE COURSE STARTING IN MARCH 2021

If you are a Dietitian who works with human beings, you will inevitably be working alongside people who have experienced or are currently experiencing high levels of stress. Some of your clients will also have experienced trauma. Importantly, we too may have experienced trauma and as humans, are inevitably exposed to stress on a daily basis. When we are working with other humans, having an understanding into our own nervous system is crucial to meeting the experiences of others with insight and compassion. We are often less separate and different than we think.

It has traditionally been viewed that the role of the Dietitian is very separate to that of the therapist in mental health, but what we are now understanding if the significant intersection of nutrition-related concerns, eating behaviours and mental health are inextricably linked. We will be seeing people whose nervous systems are sending messages through their food-related behaviours and with insight, we can support our clients to decode and understand their experiences.

But first, we need to become more familiar with our own nervous systems (so yes, this will be a self-reflective course, not just a “this is what to do with your clients” course!)

In this 4-part live online course, you’ll be introduced to foundations of trauma informed care and how it is fundamentally different to trauma-focussed therapy. This is a “working with” and “working alongside” people’s experiences which aims to build your awareness and confidence in supporting your clients who have experienced trauma and/or are experiencing high levels of stress.

Each week we will introduce you to an aspect of trauma informed care which will encourage and support us to become more familiar with our own nervous system, as we work alongside the nervous systems of others.

Dates & Times:

Tues March 2nd, 8am-10am AEDT (= Mon March 1st 4:00-6:00pm EST, 9:00-11:00pm GMT)

Tues March 9th, 8-10am AEDT (= Mon March 8th 4:00-6:00pm EST, 9:00-11:00pm GMT)

Tracy teaches other RD’s and health professionals to guide their clients to be able to receive the same level of care. More about Tracy.

Fiona is a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher and Dietitian who has a long-term interest in how we can work alongside our clients and communities in the de-stigmatisation and honouring of every person’s efforts to seek safety, often using behaviours we commonly see in Dietetic practice. Fiona is an experienced workshop facilitator and supervisor based in Melbourne, Australia.

In this 4-part series, you’ll learn: ·        

• The basics of polyvagal theory and nervous system states    

• How to be aware of, and track our own nervous system to be able to self regulate, and provide co-regulation with others

• How to recognise what’s happening in other people’s systems beyond their presenting symptoms      

• What am I listening and watching out for? Learn the language of the nervous system

• The power of slowing down and why it is critical for healing       

• What we can do on a foundational level with our clients so we don’t go into Dietitian-fixing mode

• The importance of transitions, consistency and expectancy

• Some foundational somatic practices we can use to enhance self and co-regulation

FAQ’s:

Is this work within a Dietitians scope of practice?

Understanding our own systems and developing insight about our client’s safety systems is absolutely within our scope of practice.

Understanding how we can create safer spaces for our clients can greatly enhance the Dietetic work we are undertaking together

This 6 session live online series is designed to prepare you to work more confidently and ethically with clients presenting with a range of disordered eating presentations, elevating your knowledge, insights and skills. Focussing more on the “how” and “why” rather than just the “what,” you will be provided with key learnings and opportunities to develop your skills within a supportive and reflective learning environment. At the end of the workshop, you can expect to leave feeling clear about a range of ways to navigate the inevitable challenges and complexities of working in this field, coupled with an ongoing curiosity to learn more from your valued colleagues and clients!

This series is primarily designed for Dietitians with more than two years of dietetic practice. If you are a Dietitian with less than two years of dietetic practice, you are very welcome to attend on the premise that you have completed all reading and allocated work prior to the workshop.

You may have been seeing clients with clinical eating disorders for some time, and you are more than welcome too! This workshop is designed as a comprehensive and practical dive into dietetic care and may act as a very suitable review or update of existing skills and understandings.

There are more commonalities than differences with Eating Disorder care worldwide, and we have designed this course to be suitable for, and thoughtful about the needs of, as many Dietitians as possible wherever you are in the world. Please do reach out if you have any questions, and see other course options below to get a good idea of whether this will be suitable for you.

You can expect to leave with a thorough understanding of:

• The role of the Dietitian in ED care, including scope of practice

• Inclusive, thoughtful Dietetic screening and assessment

• Evidence based practice AND practice-based evidence

• Optimising inclusivity in Eating Disorder spaces - your role

• “Where do I start?” - setting up your Dietetic care with a solid foundation

• Communication skills, working & collaborating with a health team

• Trauma-informed care

• Specific counselling skills that are essential in ED work

• Aligning your practice with stages of change

• Pacing & flow of sessions over time, setting expectations and boundaries

• Medical monitoring & tracking of client progress

• Working with adolescents, families, adults

• “What do I say when….” troubleshooting

• Cases to bring presentations to life, and offers more realistic opportunities to learn.

• How, when & why to bring topics such as body image and weight stigma into the conversation

• Understanding our own stuck-points and what gets in the way for us doing this work

How will the live online course work?

We hope that you are able to join us for all, or at least most of the live sessions. We understand that it’s not always possible to attend live, and we ask that where it is possible that these hours are prioritised to optimise your learning experience.

All sessions with be recorded (with your consent) and uploaded into the course platform “Teachable” so you can keep the content forever. All resources, handouts, worksheets, research, reflection activities etc will also be uploaded to this site.

Your other training options:

We encourage you to seek training that feels like a good match to you and your individual circumstances and have some suggestions which we highly recommend.

If you’re looking for take-it-at-your-own-pace online training, I recommend Marci Evans Nutrition Counselling for Eating Disorders course - all Marci’s courses are fantastic!!

Another online option here is Jessica Setnicks Eating Disorders Bootcamp, a highly regarded workshop (now online only temporarily we hope!) from someone very experienced.

Our Commitment to an as-Inclusive-as-possible experience

We acknowledge that absolute inclusivity in this training will not be possible but as white, highly privileged Australians working within a complex system, we are working to bring you training that demonstrates thoughtfulness and efforts to make space for as many experiences and people as possible. We are committed to a high-consent process at all steps, and invite your feedback at any time if we can improve these processes.

We are doing this in two ways which, combined, we hope provides a greater opportunity for Dietitians to participate in training which is accessible, and reflects deep respect and care:

1. Thoughtfully reflecting on course content to reflect on any material that may feel unsafe, disrespectful or repeat past experiences where power has been enacted in harmful ways.

2. Offering an equity pricing model for participants which acknowledges people’s varied capacities and lived experiences (see below for more details, contact Fiona directly to enquire about Equity pricing).

REGISTRATION DETAILS:

EARLY BIRD (until August 10th, 2020)

$445 + GST (ANZAED members), $495 + GST (Non Members)

REGULAR (from August 11th)

$495 + GST (ANZAED Members), $545 (Non Members)

NOTE: Two-part payment plans are available

Currency Conversion: At time of launch AUD $1 = NZD $1.05 = USD $0.70 = CDN $0.94 = GPB 0.55

Convert my currency HERE

Please contact me if your workplace will be supporting you to attend, I can issue invoices directly.

Equity Pricing:

Accessible pricing is important to us, as a reflection of our genuine commitment to equity in training and education for Dietitians. A pricing model has been developed which aims to offer a variety of price points for people who are experiencing hardship, are from marginalised groups or are from low- and middle-income countries (OECD listing here).

Focussing more on the “how” and “why” rather than just the “what,” you will be provided with key learnings and opportunities to develop your skills within a supportive and reflective learning environment. At the end of the workshop, you can expect to leave feeling clear about a range of ways to navigate the inevitable challenges and complexities of working in this field, coupled with an ongoing curiosity to learn more from your valued colleagues and clients!

Who is this workshop suitable for?

This series is primarily designed for Dietitians with more than two years of dietetic practice. If you are a Dietitian with less than two years of dietetic practice, you are very welcome to attend on the premise that you have completed all reading and allocated work prior to the workshop.

You may have been seeing clients with clinical eating disorders for some time, and you are more than welcome too! This workshop is designed as a comprehensive and practical dive into dietetic care and may act as a very suitable review or update of existing skills and understandings.

There are more commonalities than differences with Eating Disorder care worldwide, and we have designed this course to be suitable for, and thoughtful about the needs of, as many Dietitians as possible wherever you are in the world. Please do reach out if you have any questions, and see other course options below to get a good idea of whether this will be suitable for you.

You can expect to leave with a thorough understanding of:

• The role of the Dietitian in ED care, including scope of practice

• Inclusive, thoughtful Dietetic screening and assessment

• Evidence based practice AND practice-based evidence

• Optimising inclusivity in Eating Disorder spaces - your role

• “Where do I start?” - setting up your Dietetic care with a solid foundation

• Communication skills, working & collaborating with a health team

• Trauma-informed care

• Specific counselling skills that are essential in ED work

• Aligning your practice with stages of change

• Pacing & flow of sessions over time, setting expectations and boundaries

• Medical monitoring & tracking of client progress

• Working with adolescents, families, adults

• “What do I say when….” troubleshooting

• Cases to bring presentations to life, and offers more realistic opportunities to learn.

• How, when & why to bring topics such as body image and weight stigma into the conversation

• Understanding our own stuck-points and what gets in the way for us doing this work

• Supervision and ongoing support for Dietitians

Please note that we will not be a training specifically in any particular therapeutic/counselling or treatment modality (eg. ACT, DBT or eg. FBT or CBT-E) but will cover these topics in broad form with the intention of inviting and encouraging you to pursue further training in specific ways of working with clients, groups and communities.

How will the live online course work?

We hope that you are able to join us for all, or at least most of the live sessions. We understand that it’s not always possible to attend live, and we ask that where it is possible that these hours are prioritised to optimise your learning experience.

All sessions with be recorded (with your consent) and uploaded into the course platform “Teachable” so you can keep the content forever. All resources, handouts, worksheets, research, reflection activities etc will also be uploaded to this site.

Your other training options:

We encourage you to seek training that feels like a good match to you and your individual circumstances and have some suggestions which we highly recommend.

If you’re looking for take-it-at-your-own-pace online training, I recommend Marci Evans Nutrition Counselling for Eating Disorders course - all Marci’s courses are fantastic!!

Another online option here is Jessica Setnicks Eating Disorders Bootcamp, a highly regarded workshop (now online only temporarily we hope!) from someone very experienced.

Our Commitment to an as-Inclusive-as-possible experience

We acknowledge that absolute inclusivity in this training will not be possible but as white, highly privileged Australians working within a complex system, we are working to bring you training that demonstrates thoughtfulness and efforts to make space for as many experiences and people as possible. We are committed to a high-consent process at all steps, and invite your feedback at any time if we can improve these processes.

We are doing this in two ways which, combined, we hope provides a greater opportunity for Dietitians to participate in training which is accessible, and reflects deep respect and care:

1. Thoughtfully reflecting on course content to reflect on any material that may feel unsafe, disrespectful or repeat past experiences where power has been enacted in harmful ways.

2. Offering an equity pricing model for participants which acknowledges people’s varied capacities and lived experiences (see below for more details, contact Fiona directly to enquire about Equity pricing).

Equity Pricing:

Accessible pricing is important to us, as a reflection of our genuine commitment to equity in training and education for Dietitians. A pricing model has been developed which aims to offer a variety of price points for people who are experiencing hardship, are from marginalised groups or are from low- and middle-income countries (OECD listing here).

Body Image: The Missing Piece of Body Healing

Your hosts: Marci Evans (Marci RD) & Fiona Sutherland (The Mindful Dietitian)

After highly successful live workshops in the USA and UK through 2018. Marci and Fi bring this workshop to Australia, specifically designed for Dietitians and health professionals working with clients and communities who present with body image concerns.

If you are looking to enhance your nutrition counseling skills and confidence when working with eating disorders, chronic dieting, and any health or other condition or experiences which impacts how someone feels about their body, this is definitely the training you’ve been waiting for.

As clinicians, we know that body dissatisfaction and constantly driving for body changes harms people, and keeps them stuck in the merry-go-round of body-hating hell. Even well-intentioned and highly trained clinicians can do harm if they’re not sure what to do, and we too can be drawn into people’s body distress and find ourselves backed into a corner. We also know that diet culture, Dr Google and the latest round of “wellness experts” can be noisy, and very seductive.

In this workshop you can expect to:

• Develop a strong working knowledge based on the most up-to-date research related to body image: including assessments, definitions, neuroscience, and effective interventions.

• Develop a deeper understand of concepts and experiences such as weight bias, weight stigma, fat phobia and internalised fat phobia, and the roles they play in both perpetuating and potential healing of body image.

• Integrate the “Model for Body Image Healing” as a conceptual framework used to understand, process, and transform your client’s body image experience.

• Learn the language of negative body image and increase confidence in having clear conversations with people who experience a poor relationship with their body.

• Learn how to navigate those tricky conversations about bodies while staying calm and centered yourself – we know it’s not always easy!

• Build confidence in staying on track, even if you feel under pressure

• Increase understanding, confidence and skilfulness in the multitude of specific strategies for body image healing.

• Connect with other like-minded colleagues as we navigate the care for those who are struggling with their body image

Workshop Payment Options:

We understand that 2020 might be a significant PD year for many people and as such, we want to make the June 2020 Workshops most manageable.

Smash Diet Culture by Strengthening your Weight-Inclusive Communication;

A day retreat with Christy Harrison & Fiona Sutherland

Don’t miss this AMAZING opportunity to join expert communicator Christy Harrison, author of the newly published book Anti Diet and host of Food Psych podcast, along with Fiona Sutherland (that’s me!), workshop and group therapy facilitator and host of “The Mindful Dietitian” podcast, for this unique day retreat at the magnificent and iconic Montsalvat property in Eltham.

As health professionals and humans, we want to help make the world a more inclusive place for bodies of all shapes and sizes. We want to SMASH diet culture and support people in breaking free from what Christy calls “The Life Thief.” And yet we can often find ourselves feeling anxious in important moments, swayed by dominant narratives and silenced by our own fears and feelings of inadequacy.

This unique day aims to support you to:

• Deepen your understanding of effective communication techniques, including verbal and written styles

• Develop or strengthen a voice that elevates others, our collective vision of body liberation, AND your business, so that we can all continue doing important work

• Consider your audience and how to most effectively translate your message for individuals, groups, and the general public

• Bring your online and offline messaging into alignment with your non-diet, weight-inclusive values 

• Develop skills for staying centered and grounded in communication moments that matter

• Identify ways you can strengthen your own communication alongside seeking opportunities to ‘pass the mic’ to others with lived experience in ways which elevate collective healing

Start the day with some yoga with Fi before moving into the workshop. It’ll be a dynamic, energising and FUN day, leaving you feeling more confident and capable of communicating your weight-inclusive message to the world.

Please note: we will not be spending time covering the basics of Non Diet Approach and Health At Every Size® (HAES); it is expected that you already have knowledge, experience, and skills in these principles and how they translate to practice.

Prior to attending, we ask that you:

• Read Intuitive Eating, 3rd edition (Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch)

• Read Anti-Diet (Christy Harrison)

• Read Body Respect (Lindo Bacon & Lucy Aphramor)

• Be familiar with HAES® principles and social-justice orientations to healthcare

• Attend the Non Diet Approach workshop with Fiona Willer & Fiona Sutherland (please contact Fiona Sutherland if you have not attended)

Workshop Payment Options:

We understand that 2020 might be a significant PD year for many people and as such, we want to make the June 2020 Workshops most manageable.
