Clinic
provides a client-centred nutrition service using an inter-disciplinary
and holistic approach, offering individuals educational, motivational
and recovery management tools based on treatment comprised
of psychological, medical, nutritional, cultural, social and
philosophical guidance.
-
Clinic aims to create a supportive and safe
environment enabling clients and their families to empower
themselves, thus facilitating a healing process in which clients
make their own decisions regarding 'recovery' and weight management.
-
Clinic is fully aware that weight issues, eating
disorders and eating problems are complex and multifactorial
and they occur in a social and political climate that fosters
disturbed eating behaviours and destructive ideas about weight
and shape. Since there is not one cause, each treatment plan
at CAKE™ Clinic is tailored to the individual's unique needs
for psychological, medical, nutritional, cultural, social
and philosophical treatment and guidance.
-
Clinic acknowledges that recovery and weight
management can be a long process and can occur in stages.
All clients and their families attending CAKE™ Clinic will
be supported throughout their individual and unique care and
nutrition plan in the most preferred and convenient fashion.
-
Clinic will focus on prevention, awareness
and education by providing presentations and workshops and
training at universities, colleges and other interested organisations
and to provide educational resources about weight management
and eating disorders to all professionals such as GPs, practice
nurses, school nurses and teachers.
-
Clinic believes that treatment should be offered
in the least intrusive way in a compassionate, confidential
and caring environment. To recover does not necessarily imply
to cure - it can be helping people achieve a way of life compatible
with their individual aspirations and to restore their freedom
to make food choices even in the presence of continuing disease.
