WAITING FOR HELP

Solutions for circumventing eating disorder waitlists

With Dr Kathina Ali

About one million Australians are estimated to be experiencing an eating disorder in any given year. The affects of eating disorders are sometimes life-threatening, making receiving treatment seriously important. However, specialists often have long waitlists. What's the solution?

Hear from Dr Kathina Ali, a registered psychologist and research fellow with experience in helping people with eating disorders, discuss solutions for people on waitlists. Kathina is a core member of the Be Well Lab, a collaboration between Flinders University and SAHMRI, designed to assist people in improving their mental health and wellbeing. The Be Well Plan can be a valuable resource for people waiting for help. Learn more about the Be Well Plan on the website.
