Held Online
In 2023, Renfrew’s Research and Training Departments published the groundbreaking article, Traditional vs. Virtual Partial Hospital Program for Eating Disorders: Feasibility and Preliminary Comparison of Effects, in the scholarly journal European Eating Disorder Review. This webinar will highlight the findings from this multi-year project that explored treatment outcomes for both Renfrew’s in-person and virtual partial hospital programs using The Renfrew Center Unified Treatment Model for Eating Disorders (UTM)®.
These exciting results showcase the benefits of telehealth delivery of an evidence-based treatment for patients, highlighting improvements in eating disorder symptoms, depression, and emotional avoidance. This presentation will review the methodology, clinical outcomes, and accessibility of virtual treatment as outlined by this study, with time for a question-and-answer session.
