BIO: Dr. Federici is internationally known for her comprehensive team training and clinical consultation.  She offers consulting in the following areas: clinical practice, research methods, program development, program evaluation, DBT and CBT implementation.
Series
Overview:		 Drawing from more than 20 years of direct and translational research, this series of six half-day workshops will continue to focus on utilizing DBT for clients who have not responded to standard ED interventions, and builds upon the knowledge gained in the EDO-hosted January 2023 training in the DBT-ED model. These follow-up workshops will explore DBT strategies in more depth, support implementation efforts, and provide an opportunity to work through cases and questions. 

Topics covered include:

• Intro to behaviourism and target groups
• Chain and missing link analysis
• Dialectical dilemmas/secondary targets
• Contingency management protocols
• Additional skills practice
• How to run a consult team
Target Audience:
• Mental health clinicians/psychotherapists in specialized eating disorders programs working in Ontario publicly-funded settings (no fee-for-service). 
• This event is geared towards mental health providers who have:
• attended the EDO-hosted January 2023 training on DBT-informed practices in the treatment of eating disorders or have equivalent, foundational training in the DBT-ED model (e.g., rationale, eligibility criteria, adapted biosocial theory, adapted target hierarchy, use of DBT-ED commitment strategies, experience teaching DBT skills, dialectical approaches and team stance in DBT-ED)
• experience working in an eating disorders setting 
Required preparation:
 Attendance at the EDO-Hosted January 2023 “DBT-Informed Practices in the Treatment of Eating Disorders in Higher Levels of Care” training (or viewing of all the on-demand recordings from the January 2023 training) or other formal training in the DBT-ED model (e.g., Sick Kids Learning Institute, DBT-ED Level 2 training) 
Recommended preparation For those of you with little prior DBT training or in need of a refresher, the following book is recommended: DBT for Dummies (by Gillian Galen and Blaise Aguirre, © 2021). You can purchase the book here:  Caversham Booksellers
